Sorry this has been a busy week, and I haven’t been able to write up the full Tar Wheel treatment for last Friday’s meeting.
Jaci Betts brought Gerber daisies 
for all our female members in honor of the 20th anniversary of Women in Rotary. Bill Batten 
informed us that the first female Director of Rotary International was a French doctor who is on the cover of this month’s Rotarian. It all started in Asheboro when Sandy Grey sponsored Carole Matney for membership in our club.
Guests: Rachel Hayes, with Lib Cox; Robin Breedlove with Owen George; and Anna Baylor, sitting at the front table 
with her Grandpa Ed Clayton and her friend Nichole Gandel.
Ed Clayton introducted Patrick O’Hara, who delivered a program about his specialty, the YMCA. Patrick had staff members Jimmy Walker and Joyce Deaton along to support him on the technical side with their new laptop and digital projector. 
The YMCA website is at this link: www.randolphasheboroymca.com — which, however, wasn’t working when I tried it.
Remember: District Governor McCoy visits the club on August 31st.
More later!!
