President John Racine rang the bell and greeted both Rotarians and Guests. He requested we sing GOD BLESS AMERICA in "a cappella" today. Like always, it was performed flawlessly, as was the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. Homer Nye gave our INVOCATION. He asked that we keep the people of Texas in our mind and prayers. Allison Beers led us in song with "Don't Believe Me Just Watch". She was accompanied by her two talented children, Emma and Jake. Emma was also the "BIG WINNER" in today's 50/50. Congratulations Emma! Ramona Pleva Introduced two VISITING ROTARIANS and eight GUESTS, including a couple of prominent Michigan political figures.
