Mary Leads Mtg, Moment of Silence + Fellowship

This morning we had a moment of silence for those affected by Hurricane Ian, Parts of Florida's Gulf Coast were devastated as Ian swept through the state, damaging buildings and homes and flooding communities. Sanibel Island in Lee County, near where the hurricane made landfall, was among the most brutal hit. Parts of the Sanibel Causeway collapsed, disconnecting the barrier island of 6,300 residents from the mainland.

Friends and Family gathered at Asbury Methodist on October 1st to honor Ev Weed.

8 Rotarians took part in the service and Ev's Rotary Badge was given to the family.

It was a beautiful service with many great memories shared.

The City gave our club the day off - Dawn, her husband, and Miguel

(and Ken) were on site to make sure all the vendors were set!

Les attended the transportation forum at the library last Saturday.

We are lucky to have public transportation in Bristol, the forum gathered to get ideas on how to make it more accessible to all.
