Howdy from Hank!

"Whew!

It's been a busy couple of weeks, topped off by our little RC being the Marshal for yesterday's Labour Day Parade.

While it was a chilly, gloomy morning, 20 Rotarians showed up in their white hats and blue vests, and the fellowship quickly brought sunshine to our hearts.

Thank you for showing up!

As for showing up, we, the community, showed up in large numbers as well, and your energy no doubt made it a sunny day for them.

What a fabulous Rotary Club, and I am proud to be a member!"
