LAST WEEK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
David Allen offered a Happy Dollar to celebrate the inauguration of our 46th President. 
 
The Raffle Management Team (RMT) was indisposed, so no $10 in-kind donation was awarded and, alas, no quiz questions were posed to those in attendance. 
 
DONATIONS IN LIEU OF MEALS
 
REMINDER: Here’s the link to make your donation in lieu of paying for meals at Jesse’s AND the place to donate your Happy Dollars!  https://hanovernhrotary.ejoinme.org/COVID-19.
 
LAST WEEK’S PROGRAM
 
Todd Allen shared his screen and, unless you logged on early, you missed the swearing in of the 46th President since it happened 10 minutes early, which some pundits are offering as evidence of the illegitimacy of the election since the swearing in is supposed to happen at noon! This clip from The Daily Show clip illustrates 10 examples of Biden’s missteps thus far: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/1353432634312052739?s=20
Imagine! Biden criticized White Supremacy! So much for unity!
