this week’s meeting
The aging Gary Green (Club President) began the meeting promptly at 7:25 a.m. with a brief history lesson on the origins of the 4-Way Test and its creator Herbert J. Taylor. Duane Horning led the Pledge of Allegiance, Bobby Spinner-Flack provided the invocation (entitled “I Worry About the World”), and Jim Mulvaney led the morning musical.
Attending the meeting today were 18 non-Rotarian guests, and 13 visiting Rotarians. There was a brief debate over the upcoming Marquette v. Kansas college basketball game, and it was decided that Club members who are fans of the losing team will pay $100 to the Club.
