President Mary warmed up the crowd with her signature song “We are Family” before dinging the dinner bell to officially start the meeting. Paula Olson led us in an invocation, and the Pledge of Allegiance followed. Making the meeting happen was the set-up crew of Wynn Hoffman, Terry Roarke, Rick Selden, James Osundwa, Tom George and Rob Erb. Veronica Bronkema was at the Paul Harris table, Leon Titus was at the $2.00 table and also served as our sergeant at arms. Walt Richardson was the photographer extraordinare while Paula Olson took furious notes and John Lowney manned the Cookie Jar.
Generous Rotarians donated $1,835 to The Rotary Foundation today and $585 last week. Amazing! But where our generosity really shone was the last Friday of the month food donation. We collected more high value food than any time in the past and bunches of money for the Little Free Pantry program. Next opportunity to wow the community is October 27th.
