Rotary Spoke

On a beautiful August day, with a hint of Fall in the air, twenty-three Rotarians gathered at Waxy O'Connor's for a delicious meal of steak tips, chicken casserole, green beans.  The restaurant staff excelled in serving this fine gathering.  Unfortunately, there were no guests or visiting Rotarians to join us for lunch.

PP Spencer B. led the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by PP Dan O. leading the group in a verse of America.  PP Don S. explained that he had forgotten his Rotarian prayer book and would have to use one of his standards for the invocation.

Happy Dollars( $10 ) were paid by Bob C. for have a good time at the Patriots game with his wife, Toni.  Fines were paid by Steve M.( $10 ) re:Golf Tournament, Julie P.( $5 ) re:Childrens road race and Pres. Dave ( $10 ) re:Lex-Bedford softball game.  PP Bill C. ( $65 ).  

Thanks to PP Bill C. for providing the entertainment on this, his last summer meeting, before returning to his teaching duties in No. Reading.  Bill was his usual vivacious self entertaining us with puzzles  and game tokens.  Good luck with the Fifth graders, Bill, we'll miss you.

Pres. Dave gave a running commentary on the recent softball game between the Lexington and Bedford Rotary Clubs.  Lexington was ahead by 3 runs, then behind by 6 runs, all at the beginning of the game.  Our star player was Meaghan M. whose clutch hit won the game. Congratulations, Meaghan!

Pres. Dave shared with us a thank you letter from the Veterans of Foreign Wars for participating in the Labor Day dinner with them.

PP Jim S. asked everyone to sign-up for 1 of 3 locations at the annual Lex-Hab BBQ event.  The dates are Sept. 23, 24 & 25.

Pres. Dave announced that on Sept. 15th our speaker will be the District Governor, Peter Simonsen.  All club members are expected to attend this meeting.

Thanks to PP Bob S. for walking me through this electronic connection.

Regards,  Bob C.
