Jay Deyton, Mike Parrott (Legg/Mason) and Charlotte Rotary President Ronnie Pruett grin as our master of dry wit, Jerry Orr delivers a hilarious Health & Happiness report coupled with a "LAWYERS NEED NOT ATTEND" footnote. Photo front:  Ed Kizer (UNCC) chooses to ignore the whole bit!

Mike Parrott and Katie Tyler (Tyler II Construction) are intrigued by Mike Hawley (Kennedy, Covington, Lobdell & Hickman, P.A.) as we're told of our successful bid for a matching fund grant from Rotary International for our designated adult literacy program in our sister city in Peru.

Fernando Salvador and Ramon Bellettini demonstrate to Charlotte Rotary what beautiful people visit us from Ecuador. Ramon is president of the Rotary Club of Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador.  In the background our own Charlotte Rotary president is about to remind us of what an excellent international lawyer he is when he conversed fluently in Spanish to our special guests.  On President Ronnie's left is Hoke Nash who introduced our program for June 1st.

Jay Peyton, Mike Parrott and Katie Tyler learned from Hoke Nash's program introduction that Tom Garrett's "stand & stay stood" is an expression derived from "Clemson English."

President Ronnie and Hoke Nash (both seated) listen as John Nicolay tells us "How I Got Where I'm At" -  one of Charlotte Rotary's favorite programs.

Our President, Ronnie Pruett looks attentive and Hoke Nash smiles broadly as Jay Meyers (Meyers & Co.) tells us that his favorite pastime is "reading obscure things in an insect-free environment."

President Ronnie and Hoke Nash sit stunned as Dale LeCourt explains that - unbeknown to his wife -  he'll be spending his 35th anniversary at the U.S. Open. So much for long marriages, Dale!

Mike Parrott had a tough act to follow as our fourth speaker on the program today. Hoke Nash and Dale LeCourt chuckle at a "Parrott-ism."

Katie Tyler, Rick Jackson (G.M. of WBT AM&FM and WLNK and incoming Charlotte Rotary member) and Marilynn Bowler (Charlotte Hornets) talking membership after the meeting.

George Thompson (Providence United Methodist Church and incoming Charlotte Rotarian) chats with Charlene Kammerer (Bishop/Western NC Conference/United Methodist Church) and Hope Lanier (BellSouth.)
