ROTARIAN NEWS
We had a lively group this week with lots to share!
Tim Clarke traveled to West Stockbridge and finally competed in a unique triathalon with his son competing against other teams.
Joanne Scott reported that her son had previously spotted a bald eagle on the Danvers River. Contractors at her house also saw a juvenile bald eagle this past week outside of her house with a fish in its talons.
Joe Amico was excited to report that he and Jim traveled to Provincetown for a car show, and that their '57 Lincoln won the award for Most Ostentatious.
Bruce Whear travelled with Heidi through Pennsylvania and New York en route to Niagara Falls. They stayed in North Adams and he highly recommends the museum there.
Bill Henning was proud to update the club on the progress of Thomas' book, which will be published soon. Autographed copies will be available! They did travel to Vermont which was beautiful but lacked much to do.
Sue O'Brien was happy to report that her son in law is recovering well from Covid.
Elizabeth Bradt was excited to have recently sold her practice and is now happily retired!
Gerrit Bradley travelled recently to Greece. The trip included stops at ruins, some snorkeling, time at the beach, and exploring the country. Not much in the way of birds there though. He dropped his daughter off at Skidmore and she is working out the the crew team. Jake is working with two year-olds at the YMCA.
Victoria Davis finally returned to Rotary after travelling to Hawaii, as well as Dallas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont and New York (and she will be off to Puerto Rico soon too!!). She recounted the bittersweet sale of her practice and how committee work in Rotary has helped with the transition.
This week was a Committee Meeting week! Fortunately or unfortunately not much time was leftover for actual Committee Meetings...
CAlendar winner!
Francesca Little spoke about here thoughts on "Is it the Truth?" She noted that her husband has been going through a spiritual awakening of sorts and has been bringing new ideas to her, specifically about authenticity. She reflected on her time living in southern California and interactions with inauthentic individuals, and how it nice to be among more authentic folks here in Salem. She brings this honesty to her profession in real estate, which has its own challenges. Next week's presenter is Ryan Guilmartin.
