Our speaker today was Cheryl from the Lima Better Business Bureau. Cheryl alerted us to current scams active in the area, and some perennial favorites. She also outlined the new customer review feature of the BBB website, which pre-qualifies business for your consideration.
Our invocation was by Michael Frueh - and he stated that the most important thing we have to be thankful for is that we have a choice of who we want to pray to here in the US. Keep in mind that all Rotary members are not as fortunate...
6 new members were inducted today - welcome !!
We received a nice thank you letter from mayor David Berger for the newly renovated Rotary Pavilion.
Cindy Wood introduced local historian Jim Bowsher - builder of the Temple of Tolerance in Wapakoneta, Ohio. (Recently visited by Alice Cooper)
Jim always gives us a great presentation - this one on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. He showed us artifacts he recovered from the largest maritime disaster in American history - the explosion of the steamship Sultanna near Memphis. Jim was able to find several items himself - even though the site is now 2 miles from where the river now flows.
He also talked about the Hatfield/McCoy feud, and the Civil War Stars and Bars (The 1st Confederate Flag)
