I've found a great way to be humiliated, follow Natalie as the Bulletin writer. Is she in marketing or what? John managed to order up some fairly decent weather for the Ale Fest. I hope the event was financially successful. Now we are on to CCH beginning with a 6:30 meeting this evening. Make sure to save time for tagging.
The Rotarian Magazine: I would suggest reading the last edition, particularly the article on monitoring for the wild form of the polio virus. It is amazing how they can detect the virus in such a small sample of stream water or sewage areas. We have been so close to victory for so long but we just can't get the job done. Unfortunately, the situation in the middle East will not make it any easier. Hopefully the isolated case in New York will turn out to be just an isolated case.
First Friday Social is on hold awaiting the opening of the new brewery in the Old Court House. I will keep you posted as to the final decision as to where we are going.
