President Joan led the Club in a delicious (think almond cookies!) and competitive trivia contest (think bragging rights & chocolate for all) to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
One of the trivia questions asked whether any Rotarians had been born in 1929 (certainly neither Chris nor Dave!), 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, or 2001. Only two Rotarians in attendance raised their hands - Dave & Chris!
Why did President Joan select those years? They represent past calendar years designated Year of the Snake, this year's Zodiac animal.
President Joan noted those born in the Year of the Snake have wisdom, charm, and strong intuition - definitely attributes shared by Chris and Dave!
