Teresa shared information about our meals at
Damon's. Each week we have an option of a house salad or the entre prepared
for us that day. At no time is anyone to request to have chicken or
steak added to the salad. All that we are contracted for is the garden
salad. Additionally when you request special salads; the orders for everyone
else get backlogged because the server is also the one that has to prepare
the salad. There is additional cost that is borne by the club when you
place requests for extras too.
Teresa shared news from the Penn State Rotaract club for the
new academic year. Over 50 persons showed up to an informational session.
These were students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters
in high school.

we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will
never create better understanding, a concept that is at the
core of Rotary.”

the things we think, say or do:
Is
it the TRUTH?
Is
it FAIR to all concerned?
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will
it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
