this week’s meeting

Our final morning meeting of Frank’s regime convened at the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in East San Diego. We were treated to a wonderful breakfast, followed by a tour of the facility. In the absence of our familiar flag stand, we saluted the blinking lapel pin worn by yours truly. Vickie Bourus delivered an inspirational invocation followed by a spontaneous eruption of Auld Lang Syne.
