OTHER BUSINESS-

Leanne organized a St Valentine's Day fun night with envelopes for everyone. These had sweets in them, a piece of paper with a Valentine's custom from another country and on the back was an acronym sent to wives and sweethearts by WW2 GI’s. Rotarians had to guess what the acronym was-possibly SWAK (sealed with a kiss). There appears to have been many acronyms used. Cassandra, with the help of B was correct in this case.
