Thanks to everyone who joined our meeting on Tuesday! We had 48 people on our Zoom meeting including 44 Rotarians and 4 guests.
Rex Brice provided our Thought for the Day from Maya Angelou: "If you can't change it, change your attitude."
Mark Fitzgerald raised $182 through Good News.
A silver lining to 2020 and Zoom meetings is the availability of diverse programs such as this weeks! Lindsay May, from the Rotary Club of Lane Cove - Australia, woke up early to share his story with us. He has an impressive professional story and an incredible philanthropic background (including over 40 years of Rotary service), but his presentation focused on his sailing experience. Lindsay has competed in 47 consecutive Sydney Hobart Yacht Races and has won 4 of those either as navigator or skipper. If you missed the meeting, or just want to hear it again, it is available at https://youtu.be/R4DbHjDPNck.
