PROGRAM:
John Belisle introduced his good friend and our speaker today. Larry Giroux spoke about his recent hunting trip to South Africa. He gave us a brief overview of the area and it’s population. He also showed us slides of the animals he hunted….most of them trophy catches and most of them with names I can’t pronounce!
This was certainly a one-of-a kind program and enjoyed by all who were attendance.
Ed Plourde thanked Larry for his presentation and offered him a Rotary mug as a token of the club’s appreciation.
