President Bill Peloquin called upon Bob Savage to lead our group in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by Mike Oates accompanying the Singing Wheels (Ray Ashcroft, Leroy Fulton, Bob Savage and Jim Young) as they sang a patriot song and our ever popular Smile.. With Valentinees Day coming on the heels of our meeting, Bob Clark, Jr. appropriately plugged the Sugar Plum Ball. The Thought for the Day was presented by Buck Catlin who shared his wifees rules for him adjusting to Mayorrs Life After Accident.. Do you remember when Buck injured his neck surfing several years ago and his wife and a friend pulled him out of the waters? He emphasized how much we should appreciate our wives, husbands, sweethearts or significant others. President Bill reported that the concert netted $25,565, and he introduced Allan Stark, District Governor Nominee for 2002-2003. Allan brought greetings from former Fullerton Rotarian Rich Templey who now lives in Salem. And as usual, Mike Oates serenaded us with wonderful selections on the piano as we garnered our lunch.
