LAST WEEK: ... by Bill Conole

Valentine's Dinner - 19 Rotarians & 14 spouses & guests gathered in the Sherwood Inn to celebrate our annual Rotary Valentine's Dinner. In President Cheryl's absence, Bill Conole served as MC. After a cocktail hour on the west porch members & their guests enjoyed an excellent Sherwood Valentine's dinner. Since our students were unable to make our dinner, MC Bill offered to sing some Elvis ditties. When the members hooted him down, MC Bill instead opted to briefly recount the life of St Valentine. In a nod to Abraham Lincoln's February 12th birthday Bill told of the tempestuous & tender love President Lincoln & his wife Mary Todd Lincoln shared. President Lincoln had the words "Love is Eternal" inscribed on his wife Mary's wedding ring. When he finished Skip Plank rose to exclaim "Bring back Cheryl!" A good time was had by all.

Guests - 14 spouses & guests
