Hello Rotarians.
Tom Warren gave the opening words.
Tom Blodgett gave the Hat story. The speaker did not show up for our meeting and Tom was able to give us an extended hat story about his upcoming journey to Malaga Spain to participate in a seniors track and field tournament. He had on display a discus, shot put, two javalins, as well as a pole vaulting pole and demonstrated techniques used to employ them on the field. Tom’s talk was entertaining and left us wondering why he didn’t consider golf as an alternative. Thanks again to Tom.
