The meeting was called to order by President Jensen. Our club found a
new low in choral singing, with a weak version of Anchor's Aweigh.
Sadly, in "Rotary Idol", we wil NOT be going on to the next level.
A near record number of visitors were introduced, including no fewer
than three members of Club 33. No wonder Lucy Kilea chose today to
announce her transfer to our membership.
Sergeant At Arms Rosalie held a re-drawing from last weeks lottery. The
winner actually had remembered to bring the ticket. Members celebrated
birthdays, anniversaries and the purchase of radio stations in Texas. What a varied group we are!
Assistant Governor Carl Lower congratulated us on our Paul
Harris participation, and encouraged members to attend the Foundation
