Club Meeting 06-09-2022
President-elect Stu Sammis called the meeting to order at 12:10 pm with the ringing of the Rotary bell.  He then called on Ernie Danforth to lead the group in singing My Country ‘Tis of Thee.  This was followed by the pledge of allegiance and the Four-Way Test. Deacon Ray gave the invocation. Jim Webb served as photographer and Ernie Danforth was the Cogs editor.
