One of Our Newest Members Yanira Burgos Tells Her Story.
On a perfect fall day, 16 Rotarians and 1 visiting Rotary (can anyone guess which retired Fire Chief) at the Lexington Golf Club with President Dan presiding. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by PP Jim F, one verse of America was led by President Dan, PDG Jack did the invocation. The food was a mixture of a steak, chicken, fish with mac and cheese and veggies for the side.
There were lots of happy dollars:
- PP Domenic paid $100 for his daughter’s wedding over the weekend. It went great and they had perfect weather, congratulation to the father of the bride and the rest of the Sicari family.
- Yanira gave a few happy dollars for her first ‘new’ car. More on her in a little while
- Veronica paid some happy dollars for a trip to Italy to see family.
- PP Murry paid some happy dollars for being on time… for once…
- PP Spencer (me) paid some happy dollars for acquiring a new business that has cases of travel coffee mugs that will be given away as raffle gifts for the for seeable future.

- PP Don S took PP Murry’s traditional role of being late and paid a fine.
