The virtual meeting began with John C ringing the bell and the individual participants lip syncing themselves singing O Canada merging with the audio of a previous club recording.
Liz Ellis delivered the invocation extolling the greatness of individuals that shines through in these difficult times and ended with the adage "be kind, be calm, be safe"
