We're baaaaack......

Well, it's good to be back after the holidays. As I mentioned before, I really missed those early morning meetings and all they had to offer.

This week's meeting was particularly interesting to me for a couple of reasons. First, one of our members recently passed away. Although I did not know him because he apparently became ill before I joined, I was very impressed by the outpouring of remembrance for the guy by the RB Sunrise Rotary. He was clearly highly respected and loved. That, of course, reflects right back on the club itself.

At the meeting we also had a guest speaker who was not a Rotarian, but was a local entrepreneur. A physical therapist by training and occupation, he owns his own gym and does personal training as well. His excellent speech motivated me to high a personal trainer to tune up my own routine and to set some goals. I have a much better understanding of what is going on as I get older, and what I can do about it.

Finally, as a Red Badge Rotarian, one of the things on my checklist of things to do toward full membership is to attend a Board of Directors meeting. I checked that off tonight. I particularly enjoyed the wine and snacks! The meeting impressed me as cheerful, rather loose (we didn't have THAT much wine), but very productive. I got a good sense of what goes on to keep this great organization running.

Good to be back!
