Fellowship Review
What a great fellowship! You missed it! It was like WOW!!! I got off to a late start at PE Earl's home. It was Rtn. Claude, his wife Linda, and sister Joy who got there on time at 7:00.
PE Earl and his charming wife Carol, made this one of the liveliest parties we've had in a long time, although she was not well. Rtn. Earl, is this what we must expect next year? Rtns. Earl, Winsome, and Bev were the ones who fed us. They saw to it that the Roti, the Barbecue Chicken, the Curried Goat, and Fish were in good supply and we all had a belly full. There were some Rotarians who could not leave the bar. Were they colder than anyone else. Rtns. Marcia B, Pres Paul, ADG Dennis, VP Valerie, Rtns. Gary, and Mark. What was happening up there that the above Rtns. Were not there to experience the cold we were. Then it was time for dancing, Rtn. Angela seems to have been in Trinidad. She took the floor by storm. It was good to see Rtn. Marlene doing her own strut. We even had Rtn. Noel fligging a foot or two on the dance floor. But it was Visiting Rtn. Claude's wife Linda who led the conga line. Rtn. Gary, were you doing the Chicken Scratch or Gully Creeper? We also welcomed the observers on the dance floor, Rtns. Cheddi, Pauline, Bev, VP Valerie, Marcia J., PE Earl. It must be noted that Rtn. Mark was pulled onto the dance floor. PP Ruth and ADG Dennis seemed to have taken over the floor dancing too close to the pool. Then it was desert time. Rtn. Bev., the Potato Pudding and the Toto "tek life". Kudos to the Club Service Planning Team for a wonderful evening. Special thanks to PE Earl.
