Visiting Rotarians from Colorado Come to Dine With Rotary in Lexington.
We met on a hot, 82◦ degree sunny day, leftover from summer. It was a compact meeting, 13 Lexington members and two visiting Rotarians and no speaker. We enjoyed delicious pork tenderloin, hot dogs, fries, chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, cold cuts, salads and each other’s company.
PP Domenic led us in the pledge, we sang one verse of America led by Charlie V and the invocation was given by PDG Jack.
Your reporter gave happy dollars for the honor of his responsibility.
Our guests were from Colorado, AG Ruthe Gleeson and her father PDG Russ Gleeson. Ruthe & Russ also had a very special guest with them, support dog Trig, who was smart and silent throughout the meeting. AG Ruthe mentioned RI's initiative: Planting one tree per Rotarian, a total of 1.2 million trees worldwide and their district’s ambitious goal: a total of 33,000 trees planted. President Lori honored our guests by presenting our club flag.
Raffle gifts were donated by:
- Patriot Community Bank
- Walpole Cooperative Bank
- Arlex Oil Corp.
And won by our guest AG Ruthe, Ken W, PP Domenic and Terry W.
