This meeting of the Rotary Club of Lake Murray-Irmo began with prayer by Lyn Richards. Harvey Hoots introduced visitors, and Lyman Whitehead provided some Health and Happiness.

President Carey reminded members that the meeting on April 12th will be replaced by the Southern Patriot cruise on April 13th at 6 p.m. from the Lake Murray Marina with the GSE team from Brazil. He encouraged members to attend this special evening meeting.

Other upcoming events include the golf tournament rescheduled for July 24th and the next board of directors meeting for April 27th.

Barry Johns introduced our guest speaker for the day. Twig Gray is the state/multi-area director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He talked about how this organization has grown since it was founded in 1954. The initial vision was to see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches. He talked about the challenge and adventure of receiving and serving Christ. FCA emphasizes four areas of service--coaches, campus, camps, and community--but encourages participants also to work through the local churches. The web site for the FCA is www.fca.org.

The meeting concluded with Happy Dollar time. President Carey is particularly happy to be en route to Italy with his favorite soccer team from Dutch Fork High School. President-Elect Molly will fill in during his absence.
