It’s all fun and games at Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary Wednesday morning meetings until Past President Ron Nelms takes the podium, then we are supposed to get serious. A very serious Ron led us with his invocation. Ron spoke encouraging words of peace and unity, which I am certain resonates with all Rotarians. Ron perfectly described through his few words a world that simply could work together toward good with outcomes that build a standard of hope and humanity with benefits to be enjoyed by all. Hopefully, we as Rotarians can put into practice the words from our weekly invocations as a way to demonstrate the joy of giving Service to Others. Following America’s flag salute, Bill Black standing in for songstress Carol Smith, received his 5 minutes of fame doing what he does best...singing songs by Johnny Cash. For the morning’s selection, Bill chose the Cash song Folsom Prison. The Beacon Clue is, at what location did Johnny Cash perform this perennial hit live. Thank you, Bill, for your baritone voice and lyrics you supplied to everyone to set the stage for a festive meeting. Past President Jackie Maxwell brought a friend of hers as a guest, fellow farmer Holly Kuns. Welcome Holly! Hope to see you again soon. Trying out their luck for the first time as greeters, new members Myrna Arias and Erick Bautista, took a crack at the difficult, and profitable way of getting acquainted with members. The rookies did well! |
