Paul's Joke today was about Entomology aka the study of insects. Given this time before Easter it was timely and reminded us of abstinence and sustainability. And the District Governor does not have to know about it. Well Done!

Karen Keeling did her " Who am I" She was introduced by Linda B.

She was a cute kid, the youngest of 3. Being the youngest she got away with a lot.

Her dad was in the service so they moved around a lot. Her brother and cousins also went into the Canadian Military.

Her Dad eventually worked for the Post Office. He was a champion bowler and dancer.

She was born in New Brunswick but didn't get to go ' off base ' much until her family lived in Edmonton. That was a new experience for her.

She went to High School there and married a high school ' sweetheart' She has two children by this first marriage.

She is now married to Richard Gere, her ' Finishing Husband' and lives here in Cambridge. They have been together for 22 years now. They lead an active life and do just about everything except raise cats. They raise Minis ( Miniature Australian Shepherd dogs) and also drive Minis ( belonging to a Mini Cooper Club). They also have six grand children.

Karen is in the insurance business and works at BrokerLink. She does mostly Commercial Insurance. She has also been on the Board of Directors for Crime Stoppers and has been a member of the Sunrise Rotary Club.

Welcome Karen. Karen was thanked by Rena.
