Smile: blush
 
R Michael shared story of Men's communal rest rooms in Morocco. That led to the Army's Thunder boxes and the discussion continued to deteriorate from there.
 
R Steve S shared a story about camping in the dessert and friend being bitten by a rattle snake. After some issues that I missed the friend survived. Too bad if you missed it.

Rotary Minute:
 

We want to continue to evolve as leaders and let others know what Rotary and Interact are doing for the society — not only with our community projects, but also how we develop ourselves in meetings and projects, how family-like our club feels, how we can find help and support in people that we never imagined, and how we can help people that we never thought would need our help.

— Eduarda Azeredo Bufalari, Brazil
