I took notes for this meeting but was not able to put together a Bullegraph as I left for a two week holiday on September 18. However, I do want to share a couple of photos that I took at the meeting.
Here is a photo of Immediate Past President Monika Reyes leading her first meeting at the clubhouse rather than on ZOOM. She looks good at the podium.
Past President Monika introduced Ramesh Dontha, best selling author and podcaster. It was a very interesting presentation.
