Inspiring and deep-felt thoughts of gratitude and reflection were shared by Miriam Owsley to elevate our members into a serene and reflective state for our weekly gathering.
Immediately thereafter, all hell broke loose. Allison Beers led a motley crew of aspiring dancers on stage for shameless displays of wild flailing and erratic oscillations, in what was loosely referred to as a “dance-off.” It remains unclear whom, if anyone, won the contest. Restitutions are being made to the Park Place Hotel and any who may have suffered irreparable emotional damage at the site of Sid Van Slyke’s onstage performance.
Once much of the physical debris had been cleared, Art Bukowski introduced visiting Rotarians and guests. Following, Elaine Wood put out the call for new Rotary Camps and Services and Rotary Charities board members. Other announcements included Susan Kraus’ reminder about the much anticipated Power Island Boat Outing.
The 50/50 raffle winnings were magnanimously donated to the newly formed Survivors of the Great 2019 Dance Off committee (benefit run scheduled for later this year).
Amelia Burke shared with the club her formative and enjoyable time spent in Brazil as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program.
