Haiku Day celebrations brought a different vibe to our Monday meeting.
We had members who went all-in with their famous author or actor outfits, some who came as themselves, and some who came wondering what Haiku Day was all about.
Lili-Ann gave a us a history lesson and read several haiku's that members had composed. There was a variety of themes from train travel, the weather, the joy of rotary to the hawks. Well done to all who got into the spirit of the day.
Above are Cathie, Gilly and George who were part of the "all-in"group and looked tremendous in their outfits.
Some matter of interest were raised at the meeting:
