On Tuesday, April 7th at 6 PM, our club had our second virtual meeting over the telephone and internet via Zoom.
Invocation was sent in by Rob Hemenway and read for Jo Cooper. “The world isn't always fair; time has a keen way of showing us that. But please don't let that simple truth dull your sparkle. You were created to thrive in the face of inequity. That is the only answer to unfairness. Thrive - just thrive!” - Cyndie Spiegel - A Year of Positive Thinking.
The pledge was led by Carl Lusby, Ashley Johnson took notes and Tony and Julie Bouchard took attendance.
Birthdays and Anniversaries: Clyde Cushing shared Birthdays and Anniversaries: Linder Full has a birthday on April 11th. Happy Birthday! Jo Cooper has a Club Anniversary on April 8th for 6 Years.

Rotary Business:
- Rotary Auction Update: Laura Pellerano reminded everyone that the Auction is now September 18th.

Laura Pellerano and Debbie Ehrlenbach will work together on keeping a close eye on the financials over the next few months.
