Upon entering the special dining area, a table was set up to accommodate the anticipated onrush of potential members. After awhile, seating was at a premium and another table had to be added. Following the precepts of a regular Rotary Club, a salute to the American flag was conducted followed by a recital of the 4Way Test of the things we think, say or do.
1) Is it the TRUTH?
2) Is it Fair to all concerned?
3) Will it build GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
to which was added:
#5) IS IT FUN?

Susan had a printed agenda for the candidates to follow which included a talk by District Governor Bonnie and a slide show presented by Past District Governor Dominic. After that, officers were elected for the starting group consisting of a President, President-Elect, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. Tom Ott had previously volunteered to get a Community Project in the works and he reported on the progress. To end the meeting, everyone contributed a Happy Dollar to tell why they were happy.

Anyone interested in joining this nucleus and have the honor of becoming a Charter Member should go to Burke's on Thursday at noon.
