What an absolute delight to meet Rotarian George Cochran, 98 years old, became a Rotarian in the 1950's, took a leave of absence to serve on the Virginia Supreme Court and is still serving Rotary! What an amazing inspiration to us all. The photo of the two of us show's their Rotary wheel all 5 plus feet of it and yes it does light up, I love this.
President Lynn and members are a perfectly aligned when it comes to organization, they have a lot on their plates when it comes to fundraising and I wish I was closer to get one of the wreaths at an upcoming event. I am starting to get use to singing, about half of the clubs sing and they recently added a piano to help with the tune. The club also has a container that members put pocket change into for Polio Plus most weeks.
The speaker was from The Ghost tours of Staunton and gave a inviting talk on the spirits that roam the area. One of particular interest was of Mary Baldwin, who as a young child had a high fever which caused some paralysis to her face, after which she refused to be photographed, students at the college report photos and mirrors turned over, this was confirmed by the College president who was sitting at my table. It sounds like a fascinating tour.
One other point of mention was the building where the club meets is owned by a member who donates the room to the club, very nice indeed.
