Newsletter Reporter: Gail Lyman | Editor: Joanne Lamoureux Four-Way Test —
Thanks to President Catrina for reciting the Four-Way Test. The Thought for the Day —
Brian Wilbur’s Thought for The Day included this reminder from the Rotary website: Rotary unites people from all continents and cultures who take action to deliver real, long-term solutions to our world's most persistent issues. Through volunteering, our 1.2 million members make lifelong friendships that transcend political and cultural boundaries and foster global understanding and respect. Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. Guests —

She and her husband recently relocated from Colorado Springs, Colo., where she was a member of the North Colorado Springs Rotary Club.
