ROTARY INTERNATIONAL’S THEME FOR THE YEAR: "LIGHT UP ROTARY" (Think Chinese Lantern as Incoming International President Gary Huang is Chinese from Taiwan)
President Dr. Heidi brought down the gavel for the eighth time of her Presidential Year at Don Jose’s in Castro Valley, and Kern Lewis was asked to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY - Bruce Johnson honoring Dr. Heidi: The Johnsons were shown into the dentist's office, where Bruce made it clear he was in a big hurry. "No fancy stuff, Doctor," he ordered. "No gas or needles or any of that stuff. Just pull the tooth and get it over with." "I wish more of my patients were as stoic as you," said the dentist. "Now, which tooth is it?" Bruce turned to his Bride of 45 years... "Show him your tooth, Honey."
