At 12:10 President Michael Scar announced the commencement of the first zoom meeting of November 2020.
Larry Beckett led us in the flag salute and Tara Saylor gave us one of her favorite passages from college:
“You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. The peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability--to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.”
― Dan Millman
President Michael thanked Tara Saylor for facilitating our meeting, Patricia Anderson as the greeter for the week, Larry Beckett for the flag salute, Tara Saylor for the invocation and Suzanne Scar as Reminder Editor (which reminded Suzanne she was the Editor).

From Wikipedia..
Comedian Jason Love gave us an afternoon of laughs. Being 2020 and an election year (and a very stressful week of electing) he could have not been more timely. If we are ever back to meeting in groups, Jason is a great entertainer for any business event or party.
