The meeting began with a video of O Canada being played without sound. Gamely, members attempted to sing along by following the words on screen. More successful was Gail McEwan's invocation that featured some of Maya Angelou's more inspirational quotes: "I've learned that a decision made with an open heart is usually the right decision" "When I have pains I don't have to be one" "Every day you should reach out and touch someone" "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" Visiting Rotarians: Roberto Silva Chile Dean Hsieh Richmond Special Occasions: Cindy Phillip Birthdays: Randy Scott (Aug 26) Past President Laureen(Sept 5) Graham Mallett (Sept 6) Anniversary: Corinne and Benno Bucher (Sept 7) Sunshine Report Liz Ellis A cloudy report on this day: Dale, Linda's Ding's partner lost his brother this week Rotary Citation Award Assistant Governor Dean Hsieh Six clubs in the district were granted a citation for 2020-21 and the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen club was one of these!
