A rather dank and gloomy day was made the more cheerful by our erudite President Dianna, our Assistant District Governor John Bathurst, and three interesting guests, two of whom are on the lookout for anchorages for their Rotary membership.
Additionally, February is Peace and Resolution Month (though of explanation of which of the 10 distinct meanings of ‘resolution’ is correct was there none … but the word sounds stalwart and ennobling). We were also advised to ensure attendance in Richmond on March 8th for an action-packed dinner event; your correspondent has in the past attended this event and has to say that it was an excellent and enlightening evening with the dynamic Fred Lee as M/C. I recall vast quantities of quality goods being bought and sold in the Silent Auction.
Lydia announced the attendance record for the past year, for the members either a gracious or a sobering list of duty or transgression: good attendance and participation are necessary adjuncts of good membership. Shail won the trophy for Best-in-Show for having the most excellent attendance along with Lana, who is always a stalwart attendee. It was duly noted that attendance has been excellent in the time in which we have been at Amica, a feature that we would like to sustain.
