Jan 4 2017 Meeting

ROTARY MOMENTS with Bob Powers:

Friendships through Rotary..In 1988 the Rotary International Convention was in Philadelphia and Bob and Dottie signed up to "host" a couple from Wales. (Why not, after all Bob and Dottie lived in North Wales so it seemed fitting!). They sent photos (yup Bob sent one with an arrow through his head!) ahead of time and met in Philly for lunch and dinner before the couple joined the Powers at their home. Marina and Malcolm became wonderful friends and while they were here, they were able to go to Atlantic City (first time at a casino) see the shore at Avalon and Cape May and forge a lifelong friendship with Bob and Dottie. Over the years, the two couples have met in various places around the world. Although Malcom has passed away, Bob and Dottie continue to phone Marina every Christmas. The wonderful world of Rotary!!!
