What Would Barlow Do?
By Gayle SeldenEdited By Horn, Gregory S.Monday, January 22, 2024
Connie Coleman-Lacadie greeted all who arrived at the Friday, January 19th meeting of the Rotary Club of Lakewood. She also manned the Paul Harris desk. Barlow Buescher shared a smile at the Raffle desk. Teresa gladly collected your money for lunch. Don Daniels was slinging merch and reminding us to sell our raffle tickets. New year’s smiles abounded the room. The buffet line led to a difficult decision about which soup to choose: turkey noodle or cheeseburger. The turkey noodle sent this scribe back for seconds.
President Mary Horn called the meeting to order and asked Barlow Buescher to share a thought with us. It was so good that I grabbed my pen to make notes. Paraphrasing the end, “We have one life. What are you doing to live it to your potential?” The room was full of silent reflection. Barlow has a gifted way with words, and I appreciate every time he shares that gift with us. Hank Kerns led those of us in the room to the flag salute. Apologies to the Zoomers, the mic was nowhere near the table, but we figured you could all follow along.
