Lexington & Concord Rotary Clubs Meet in Concord

 
The Rotary Club of Lexington met with the Rotary Club of Concord at the Concord Colonial Inn on a rather cool, cloudy  and rainy day. Looks like summer is- sadly- finally over.
 
The meeting was opened by the Concord Club President Leigh Ann Crimmings and President Lori Moresco of Lexington. Pres. Crimmings message was we should all invite friends and business contacts to a club meeting, and let them know of the great services offered by Rotary worldwide..
 
After a very good lunch and a few fines, with Dan B contributing a fine as usual, we had comments from two District Governors - Karin Gaffney of 7910-for Concord, and David Gardner of 7930 for Lexington, we heard  a presentation of the need for new club members, with emphasis on the need for members to keep Rotary Clubs alive to continue the great legacy of Rotary International. We were all given pins for our lapel Rotary Make a Difference. We heard how unusual we are in having joint meetings across District boundaries.
 
It is clear to all present that we must keep Rotary alive, because we all make a difference.
