Last week my host Rotary Club meeting fell on the fourth of July. (the USA's National Holiday) In honor of my home country's birthday, I
baked a cake, which is shown above along with President Bryan Metz. (If you look closely it looks like a little American Flag) I also made some cookies and brought my American wand for Bryan to wave whenever he liked. Along with my nation's birthday it was also the birthday of two of the club's members, Alf Hannett
and Dorothy Harper. So naturally, we celebrated in the best way we knew how....with desert, food, and wine. At the meeting I was very surprised to be asked to become an honorary member of the club! The new district governor, Malcolm Eaton, was there to witness the event and I was very proud to be pinned by past
president Celia Leach with the Rotary Wheel. It was a truly wonderful evening and one I will never forget. I cannot believe how fast time is flying! I will miss everyone so much when I leave in one month! But let's not think about that! For now, I am off to another meeting this evening, and this morning a Rotarian from the Whickam Clavering club invited me to attend a tour at the BBC. Another great day!
