LAST WEEK IN REVIEW

Visiting Rotarians: Pat Brewer from the Evening Club
Make-ups turned in:
Guests: Quite a few (but no names in notes)
50/50: The 50/50 opportunity was won by Carl Hill. But sadly Carl drew the Ace of Diamonds, hence there will be 32 cards left plus 2 jokers and a new opportunity to play and split about $850!
Auction: There was no auction item.
