Everett Rotary Log 9-6-22
President Tammy Dunn began her 10th meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Thought of the Day was offered by Krissy Davis. Upon learning about the death of Donna Robinette, Krissy dedicated today’s thought in her honor. The essence of today’s Thought is “Carpe Diem”, which means “Seize the Day”. Living by this proverb means to value each day of your life that you are given as though it were the last one. What a lovely tribute for us all to remember.
We welcomed 2 guests:
Zeb Cobb introduced his sister, Tina.
Ed Petersen introduced Gary Clark, President & CEO of Economic Alliance Snohomish County.
