Mike Wier announced that anyone that signed up or wanted Dayton Dragons tickets on 6 July, he had tickets at the meeting.
Kim Paras handed out a “Colbert Questionert” and asked everyone to answer the questions.
June is Rotary Fellowship Month
Stephen Colbert really wants his guests to be known with the Colbert Questionert, a series of rapid-fire questions that range from which is the best sandwich to the most used app on your phone to the one song you'd like to listen to for the rest of your life. At our club meeting on June 16, 16 members and 2 guests completed an abridged version of the “Questionert” for fun and fellowship. Check to see who has similar tastes in sandwiches. Who needs to throw out their mowing shoes? What music do our members really enjoy and so much more!
