What a great program last week! RIPP John Smarge spoke to us about a day in the life of a RI President, spoke to us about coming challenges due to finances and Covid-19 and also shared an update on the recovery efforts in the Bahamas. It was a another most excellent program! What a lineup of speakers and visitors we've had this year! We've heard from the 2016-17 RI President John Germ, 2018-2019 Immediate Past President Barry Rassin, RI Past Director John Smarge, District Governor Elect Kirk Driscoll and our District Governor Jim Squire has visited our Club three times! Thank you to our Jay Flowers, Lauren Radford and Fran Milberg for helping us excel with our programs this year!
