Instead our general and Rotary knowledge was tested with quizzes in each area. The result for general knowledge was much better than our Rotary knowledge.
This the last meeting in President Judy’s year was fun and we thank her for a job well done in this busy year and wish her well in her retirement from this phase of her life as a Rotarian.
Thank you,
AG.
