President Erik noted that last week's meeting was "lean and mean" - not much to report - with light attendance, Amy McNally filling in for an absent Joe McGovern to offer up an invocation (no member minute, though), and Jim Bronson stepping up cold to address issues of the Ministry of Finance.

Last week we were visited by Fran Jeffries, a member of the Bridgewater (MA) Rotary Club (District 7950). She noted that she became a member of Rotary very shortly after the Supreme Court handed down the decision that Rotary International needed to admit women into its membership. Fran is a Rotary Peace Fellow and is chair of her District's Peace Building Within Committee, and she spoke about RI's Day of Peace celebration on September 21. She encouraged our Club to plan an event to tie in with this Day of Peace.

Please make sure if you are to be absent from your assigned invocation date that you secure a replacement or let President Eric know of your absence.

Only one birthday celebrated this week: Sylvia Zygawski 8/7. There are no Club anniversaries celebrated this week.
