Nick's Notes:
You are very lucky if in your elderly years you have a partner with whom to make trivial decisions What shall we eat? Wanna go to the movies? Shall we go to Madagascar or Rochester for our vacation?
On Sunday, I asked one of my friends if she'd like to come into NYC on Wednesday to see the Jean-Michael Basquiat exhibition. 'Where in the city is it?' she asked. 'East Village' I said. 'No thanks. My cousin know's someone who was mugged there' was her reply. Well, what about the Winogrand exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Or Freda? Also at the Brooklyn Museum. 'Brooklyn'. she said. Isn't that near Kennedy Airport?' Too much traffic.' My cousin got stuck in traffic for hours there once. Rather than correct her geography I took the hint and decided to go alone. Freda. Baquiat. Winogrand. The Met. Which one shall I go to. See how difficult it is for us single chaps.
SONO 14/20 .Living in East Norwalk is sort of like living in the East Village. Funky. Artistic. Bet you didn't know that there is a place that holds whisky, gin and vodka tastings on weekends. For $20.00 you can sample about five samples-not mug full's, mind you. Just a taste. So you can still drive.You will be served by the lovely Merrily Mellick and Blake- and others but as I get a bit befuddled even on a teaspoon of whisky I can't remember their names. Why 14/20? You can go there and find out or ask me. After 14/20 I accompanied a lovely lady to a bar and listened to the band BLAME IT ON THE DOG. where I bought a t shirt. Exciting life I lead, what? And all within walking distance of yours truly.

Rotary's commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity. Club Service (Fun, Fellowship and Fundraising)
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
Vocational Service (Four-WayTest)
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service (Charitable Giving and Hands-On)
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service (International Projects and PolioEradication)
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to Polio Plus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
New Generations Service ( Rising Young Voices)
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.
