Rotary Bulletin - May 14, 2009
The Silvermine Tavern having served its last sticky bun (the only good thing on its menu), everyone from the Wilton Rotary Club decided to make-up with us. These homeless country cousins tried their best to fit in at the elegant Roger Sherman Inn and demonstrated admirable table manners for people from the sticks, though most favored the use of their spoons exclusively. Like an investor trying to get rid of Lehman bonds, Wilton Rotary President Patrick Russo went time after time into his breast pocket to take out club banners which he presented to anyone who would take them.
Our guests included Alice Knapp, the director of the New Canaan Library, Keith Simpson, renowned landscape architect and his brother in law Peter Rafael from the Princeton Rotary Club, and a couple from Dublin, Paul and Rose Kunkels. Even former Rotary District Governor Benson showed up. But he's always here, isn't he?
As if these people were not exotic enough, we had as our guest speakers six charming women, members of Rotary District 4250's Group Study Exchange from Guatemala. They are traveling around the United States to visit hospitals and doctors' offices, looking to improve the care at a children's hospital in Guatemala, which they each have a connection with. That morning they witnessed surgery performed by a robot at Norwalk Hospital. Now if only that robot had worked in the kitchen of the Silvermine Tavern!
