President Courtney introduced today's speaker, our own Avrum Liederman.
Avrum showed us a presentation of his visit to the President-Elect Conference in Evanston, Illinois. He started with a bit of sightseeing with his daughter, who lives nearby. A visit to the Ferris Ferris wheel built by George Ferris was first on his list, followed by more sightseeing, hotdogs, and beer. The first day was a meet and greet, then a bit of a cruise ( in the rain). The second day was a visit to the Rotary head office in Evanston, where he was given a facility tour. Avrum has put together a presentation detailing his exploits.
