Tonight, Yulia, Sangmi, and I visited the Exmouth Raleigh Rotary Club. The Exmouth Raleigh club is a dinner club which was spun off of the Exmouth Club (a lunch club) in 1986. The Exmouth Club was formed in the late 1940s, and so is much older than the Exmouth Raleigh club. Exmouth Raleigh had 17 members as of 1 June 2008, and inducted their 26th member last night. I sat next to the current president at dinner (we were chauffeured by a two-time past president), and he explained that the club had grown a lot in the past nine months. He didn't say this, but I suspect that he has 30 members as a private goal for when his term expires on 31 May.
We did our now-standard presentations tonight. I hadn't made any substantive changes to mine; Sangmi had added a slide to hers, and Yulia had made substantial changes to her Power Point, which caused her to run a little bit long. She'd had a problem with her computer, and so was cutting down her 60-minute presentation to a 10-minute on the way to Exmouth, and perhaps didn't cut quite enough. Our next joint venture is in Ottery St. Mary, at the Otter Valley Rotary Club on 14 April. I'll have to remember to make a reference to taxes at that one! The British don't understand the American tax code, but then neither does the Secretary of the Treasury!
