Neil Matson (aka toast master)
Fined those both present and absent.
Talked about an international project the club had done in South Africa in 2006 supplying fresh water to a school.
 
Also fun fact Harry Ruggles championed the idea of singing at Rotary meetings. A very moral man he detested off colour language, malicious innuendo and classless humour.
 
Parting Thought
Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness. David Sarnoff.
