Appetites were ruined as the rumor quickly spread through the meeting that Prez Joyce had abruptly left for the Italian Rivera with fellow actor George Cluny. Alas, Joyce came to her senses and returned at 12:30 to eventually open the meeting, much to the relief of the rest of the cast of the up coming production of the Odd Couple.

Bob Savage led the flag salute followed by an invocation by the Rev. Shine.

Jack Hayes introduced Visiting Rotarians that included Steve Eldredge and Jim Alexander from Fullerton Sunrise.

Announcements:

Bob Radde attended a fundraiser for the Avalon Rotary Club that netted $30,000 to purchase a new blood machines for a Catalina Hospital.

Carol Maleki, Joyce, and Beth Jahncke
Healing Touch is Presented

Program:

Beth Jahncke and Carol Maleki presented this week’s program on Healing Touch Therapy.

Healing Touch Therapy is s popular complementary therapy that supports the body’s natural healing process.  Offered at a growing number of hospitals across the country (including St. Jude), this gentle noninvasive therapy helps restore balance within the body’s energy system, providing an optimum environment to heal. Ray Hansen and Theresa Harvey volunteered for a demonstration. Ray reported instant relief of neck pain and left the meeting energized and balanced which is quite a difference than the way he arrived. Thank you Carol, for relieving the rest of the club of this orneriness.
