Thought for the day - Fall, Leaves, Fall by Emily Brontë
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day
Rotary Moment - October is Community Economic and Development Month
I went out to RI to see what they were promoting. And it was a solar light activity that the Durango club is doing with the Navajo nation. Members in attendance are interested in supporting this project. There is more information on RI.
