LAST WEEK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
Because we had a combined meeting with the Lebanon Rotary Clubs there was no opportunity for announcements or Happy Dollars… and Rod Thomas was unable to draw the name of the raffle winner.

LAST WEEK’S PROGRAM
 
As noted above, we had a combined club meeting with Lebanon Rotary at YMCA Camp Coniston in Grantham, NH.  Outside on a sunny but cool day, a small group of Rotarians and guests were welcomed by Camp Executive Director John Tilley.  John spoke about how the Camp improvised to provide programming to over 3000 participants this summer – more than they normally would as a Summer Camp.  John also assured that Camp Coniston will weather the storm and continue to serve many communities in 2021 and beyond.  After the talk, Dick Podolec treated everyone to a Modern Pop frozen fruit dessert, a new product his son and wife Julie own and manage. Modern Pop has 6 flavors of frozen fruit bars with less than 60 calories and they recently introduced the first creamy avocado based desert bars in 3 flavors.  They now have national distribution including Market Basket in New England. See themodernpop.com for more information. I am confident Dick will offer another Happy Dollar in exchange for this advertisement.
