President Carol ran our meeting at Stoneforge. We welcomed our two guests, Rosie and Kate, visiting from Taunton, England. Joe Mitchell shared a Foundation Minute with the club.
At this week's meeting, we welcomed Pauline Nassif, Director of Education for the KIVA Center of Active Citizenship for lunch. She shared about her background growing up him Raynham, her commitment to global education, as well as the educational non-profit organization, KIVA she works for. KIVA's website is coming soon and she'd be happy to talk more about KIVA with anyone who may be interested.
Did you know that your happy and sad bucks help the club make a donation to the Rotary Foundation?
Ed had happy bucks to welcome the young women from England. He also had a buck for Dan and a "May God Save the Queen" buck.
Harry had a happy buck to be back and doing better.
Joe L. had a happy buck to be wearing shorts and to share the good news that the Giants hovering helmet is, somehow, still hovering.
Christine K. had a buck to welcome our guests.
Jody had a belated, annual buck to celebrate his Rotary anniversary in early June. He also had a buck for our visitors which reminded him of his visit to both Rotary Clubs in Taunton, England during his honeymoon.
Kit had a happy 5. $2.50 was for our visitors. The other $2.50 is to share that retirement is a total joy, with friends and family at the very top of the list of wonderful things she has more time for.
Zulmira has a welcome buck for Rosie and Kate. She thanked the club for the condolences on the recent passing of her mother. And she shared that Dan continues to do well!
