The Presidential Lunch
Date:  15 June 2024
 
In The Chair: President Peter Draper
 
           
********************************
 
The Presidential Lunch
 
President Peter and Erin invited Rotarians and friends to a Saturday Lunch in lieu of President’s night.  Of course it was a great lunch in a great location.
 
There were some formalities.  Peter acknowledged the support of the club during his year and highlighted some significant contributions. 
 
 
He also played an inspirational video – “Make your Bed’ by Admiral William McRaven.  Javian assured us that this was not aimed at him: - he made his bed that morning. For those who missed it:
 
Peter and Erin were thanked on behalf of the club by Secretary Brian with a touch of doggerel.
 
 
This was a great event: - Good food; great venue; great hospitality; great company. Javian did a sterling job of assisting Peter and Erin in looking after us.
 
Peter offered a plane ride to any interested party.
 
Thank you, Peter, for a great year and a great day.

His father replies: –
Dear Paul 
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are probably NOt eNOugh to keep even an hoNOurs student busy. But do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task and one can never study eNOugh. 
Love your father,

True Quote
Democratic Senator Claude Pepper who was 88 when he died about 30 years ago:
“A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year,” he once observed. “I told him, ‘At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas’.”
