Our guest speaker for the June 7th Rotary meeting was canceled due to COVID concerns. Vice President Jeff Wells filled in for President Michael Desplaines to run the meeting. Jeff rang the bell at 12:30 pm to begin the meeting followed by the “Pledge of Allegiance”. Jeff then asked for a moment of silence for the brave men and women who participated in D-Day, June 6, 1944. The club then recited the “Four-Way Test” followed by an invocation led by Marty Raiss.
Jeff expressed his appreciation to Bob Batcher for his willingness to present the program on a day’s notice. Bob, as always, was willing to help and demonstrated his compliance with the “Four-Way Test”. Bob introduced Jan Cline who works with Bob at Prime Plus. Jan provided the members with a brief exercise session.
Al Carmichael introduced our guests Collin Hammond, Jim Tucker, Jan Cline, Jennifer Priest, Sheri Brennan, and Roe and Luckas Amada. Barb Lipskis then inducted our newest member Jeff Ryder into the club. Welcome to the club, Jeff!
Jeff then asked the members to come up and sign the posters memorializing President-Elect Laurie Harrison’s participation in the National Rotary Convention in Houston, Texas this year. Our school of the week this week is Tarrallton Elementary School.
