PROGRAM
 
There was no program today.  Instead, a moment of silence was observed for Bill Pierce, to reflect upon a wonderful Rotarian and a Respected member of our Community.  We dismissed at 12:15 so that those members that chose to, were able to attend Bill's funeral service.  Bill will be greatly missed, but well remembered in our hearts.
