Ophthalmologist Dr Bryan Huffman thrilled us with his tale of the risk, effort, and extensive preparation it takes to swim the English Channel. Because of the strong tides the faster you swim, the shorter your distance. He clocked in at 12 hours and 19 minutes, the fastest ever was 7 hours, 24 minutes. Bryan was swimmer number 301 from the US and only swimmer number 3 from Michigan to complete this challenge.

 

President Elect Kathy DeVries, President Elizabeth Giddings, Rotary Youth Exchange student Liz from Brazil, Secretary John Hoekstra and his wife Marj Hoekstra--Kenya bound!

We bade Bon Voyage to our International Service team on their way to Kenya to inspect potential water and sanitation projects. They got stuck in Paris for overnight on their way there and they did not seem to mind this delay.
 
Guests were Wilma Hart from Mediation Services and our Junior Rotarians were Julia Jung from WOHS and Maddie Brink from HCHS.
