Meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. The Pledge: Val led the Pledge. (She did say “Rotarians, please join me in saying the national anthem.”) We also sang the national anthem. “The Four-Way Test”: Gary Phelps led us in “The Four-Way Test.” Invocation: Tom Davies. Menu: chicken Parmesan with noodles, green beans, salad and chocolate cake. Steve congratulated everyone for eating the noodles without getting sauce on our clothes.

SPEAKER
 
Steve informed the group the speaker for this week was postponed to next week. The speaker was to talk about the Rotary website. Steve would like to implement an idea to have member testimonials on the main page of the site. Each time someone visits the site a new testimonial would appear. This will help make a connection to the local club members and inspire individual to check out the club. Individuals at the meeting were asked to fill out a sheet with a testimonial. Bill, Gary and Val shared their testimonial during the meeting.
