It was indeed a very quiet week in Lake Wobegon (many thanks to the great Garrison Keillor) - it seemed many Rotarians had beaches to see, places to be, things that this past week weren't Rotary. So the small assembled group had a lovely luncheon and learned a little bit of gossip along the way, see Notes & Asides nearby. For the first time in recent memory, we found ourselves in the parking lot well before 1:00 as the meeting concluded around 12:50.  As summer gives up it's last gasp, we're sure to see attendance back to usual level.
