Earthlings, extraterrestrials and kids. Oh, my!

Dear Rotarians—This week’s bulletin’s features the literary stylings of the one and only me. And if you are convinced that when any scribe describes their writing as “literary stylings” no jury will convict you of assault when you punch said scribe in the face next time you see them walking down the street, you are correct. So next time you see me (John Magnuson for those who don’t know me) I’ll expect to dodge a jab or two.
Now, if you’ve never scribed for a Rotary meeting before, you may not know that a scribe is handed an agenda for the day’s meeting before they put pen to paper. But in my short time attempting to do this job, I’ve learned rather quickly that the order of the agenda has nothing to do with the order of what happens during the actual meeting. So, if my account doesn’t match what you saw at today’s meeting, you at least know why.
President Mary started our meeting off at 12:30pm with the usual feel-good music and ring of the dinner bell. The flag was saluted followed by a beautiful salute to our mothers by Paula Olsen. For those of you who eschew the Gregorian calendar for a system that consists of tracking Netflix releases and the time until the next run of Haley’s Comet, this is your reminder that Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday. Honor the mothers in your life accordingly.
