We hit the headlines!

On Tuesday we gave our presentation to members of the Rotary Club of Murray at their Board (Club Council) meeting.

Below is the (tongue-in-cheek) report from their club newsletter:

NEWS FLASH: BRITS INVADE MURRAY. . . Lancaster smitten!

In what is being described as the most successful British invasion since the Beatles, the Rotary Group Study Exchange Team was shuttled into Murray last weekend and treated to “a day in the strange life” of Wallace Reichmuth and Grommet Lancaster. Consisting of four lovely lassies and one lucky bloke, had this GSE team been dispatched by King George to quell the rebellion, we would still be loyal subjects to the Crown.

The Team was darn neardisabled as Rogier led them on a suicide mission to the Circus Skate and Easter Bonnet Emporium where all came away battered and bruised. Other excursions took the Team to where the buffalo roam in the LBL, the downtown police dispatch center, and out to visit a local pottery and playdough artisan.

Regrettably, the itinerary was void of quintessential west Kentucky experiences such as tractor pulling, calf roping, or bass fishing; and in lieu of bean-n-burrito night at The Big Apple, the Team endured pseudo-burgers and soggy fries in the ghost town of Aurora.

Aside from yet another presentation of “Pete Plays A Round Man With Mustache”, the Team attended a makeshift Meeting of the Rotary Bored Monday at high noon here at Chuckee’s Cheeze where they got to meet and greet some real west Kentucky natives and true southerners, heard Jayne Mansfield Crisp’s treatise on home-made ice cream, experienced the Murray Rotary Musical Interlude, and delivered an excellent presentation on their own Rotary Clubs and insight into their very proper and interesting British lives. Kudos to our host Rotarians – this was their finest hour. God save the Queen!

Thank you Murray - we had fun!
