Report of Provo Rotary Meeting Held February 19, 2015

President Ricky Hood conducted today's meeting.  The pledge was handled by President Hood and Ron led the anthem. Julie Moon gave the opening prayer. Sgt. at Arms duties were performed, and the claim was made that no sporting events were held (to the consternation of auto-racing enthusiasts).
No guests were present. Ray Beckham then introduced the speaker.
