I had the pleasure of sitting next to Joanne Satterfield and Mary Terrell today. Vice Presidential candidate Russell George gave us a glimpse today of what the 2010-2011 Rotary year would look like under his leadership. Russell has a great sense of humor and a good presence in front of the Club. Though I missed the meeting led by our other candidate Don Marx, I am sure he was just as commanding and funny from the podium. Sergeant-at-Arms Keith Strubhar called us to order today a few minutes after 12:30 pm and had a difficult time getting the group to quiet down. Ken Kimbrough gave us the inspiration for today's lunch, speaking to the importance of giving and receiving and leading us in the Serenity Prayer. Russell led us in Pledge of Allegiance and David Klaus led us from the piano to "American the Beautiful".
