Brandy's first regular meeting was held at our new location of Boston Pizza.  Our private room was packed and everyone enjoyed our new surroundings.
President Brandy started our lunch meeting by raising our glass to Rotary.  The setup at Boston Pizza is different then Holiday in.  When we arrive we can pick up a beverage at the Bar.  Alcoholic Beverages are cash bar and not included in the lunch. Brandy had some technical difficulties with the speakers, but the meeting ran relatively smoothly.  Brandy talked briefly about Dockfest, more will be reported at a later date.  he event was successful even with the few hiccups with the motors.

The Nepal Earthquake
Brandy and Kelly's trip to climb Everest wasn't the once in a lifetime trip they were expecting.  The excitement of raising awareness for their charities never prepared them for the destruction and devastation they witnessed in Nepal.  This experienced open their eyes and made the importance of International Funding real to them!
Kelly developed a slide show explaining the experience and the pictures of what happened while they were in Nepal. She also presented the Russian Rotary flag to our President. 
Our two Rotarians are lucky to be alive.  There was a lot of compassion and strong emotions in the room as we all watched silently to the horrible destruction.  Split seconds determined life and death.  If you want more detail, or you missed this presentation please contact Kelly and ask her if you can see a copy of the slide show.  Please remember BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD!
 
Jen thanked Brandy and Kelly for sharing their life changing experience.  The pictures were frightening to look at.
