PROGRAM

Trivia presented by the Fellowship Committee introduced by Kari Petrasek

Danny Tetzlaff, Kari Petrasek, and Katrina Koontz had a fun filled lunch hour for the membership with a Trivia game. About 11 tables battled it out with the categories – SPORTS, ROTARY HISTORY and CURRENT EVENTS. The maximum number of points a team could receive was 13.

Table 7 – Larry O’Donnell and gang were the winners with 11 points. There could have been some ringers at the Table (Chuckle from the crowd).

Four tables were tied with 9 points. We had to go into “sudden death” overtime questions as it went to two rounds before Table 12 won the tiebreaker for 2^nd place. Table 3 won another tie breaker to take 3^rd place. A fun lunch hour for all!

CONCLUSION

President Steve thanked the bell ringers and winners.
