The meeting was called to order promptly at 12 noon. Pat Norry led in the Pledge, Bill Hague gave the prayer and Sean Ryan led in the patriotic song. President Jeanne Smith welcomed our guests – Georgia Eaves and Elana Gardner from the Rockville Club. Kim Ryan, wife of Sean Ryan was also welcomed. We had 11 attendees. Jeanne Smith welcomed other members to give an inspirational thought of the day. We had some really good ones today:
-
Love God and do as you please
-
Love the land that loves you back
-
If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything
-
Worry is a misuse of your imagination
-
Honk if you love Jesus, text if you want to meet him
