President CLIFF BOWMAN called the meeting to order a few minutes early.

New member ALICE MILTON introduced our visiting Rotarians and Guests. Since ALICE has now completed her month of introductions, this mystery editor looks forward to which new member is up for June!
Happy Birthday to: CHARLIE MEAKER, who proudly announced the birth of his first great granddaughter Georgianna; JAN GREEN, who reminisced about his old fried JOE NEVIN before concluding with a joke about erectile dysfunction; JO DECHATELET, who asked for thoughts and prayers as her son begins a new cancer treatment; IRENE DECKER, who thanked GARY SCHEER for sponsoring her into the club, ‘even after getting to know her’; and BILL MOORE, who announced that he will be leaving the club to head back to Virginia but spoke about how much he’s enjoyed his time here especially chairing the Community Grants committee and selling car show tickets.
