Rotary 4 Clubs Dinner

Last night, Eric, Dave, and I attended the 4 Clubs Dinner in Cambridge. Jim, the Cambridge Rotary Club President, requested are attendance and asked if we could wear are uniforms and we happily obliged. It was the first time I had put a uniform on since May! My SDB's are a little big on me now so I didn't look as sharp as I would have liked to. I will have to get them re tailored when I get back to the States.
The evening began with a drinks session, which was followed by dinner, desert, and a guest speaker. I was able to meet many new people during the drinks session. I guess we were the topic of conversation being in uniform and all and everyone was very interested to speak with us. I usually covered what I was studying, what my job was in the Navy, and where and what I'll be doing after I leave Cambridge. I also had a wonderful dinner conversation with the five others seated at my table. There was a fundraiser for a local charity by selling the programs related to the evening's speaker. The man I was sitting next to bought two so he offered me one. Little did I know, there was a number on top of each program. Later that night, there was a raffle for a very nice bottle of champagne and I won!
The evening's speaker was Professor Peter Abrahams from Warwick University Medical School. I believe he is a clinical anatomist. His talk was entitled "A History of the Human Body in Classical Art." He spoke very well and the topic was very interesting - not to mention the beautiful and famous paintings which made up his PowerPoint presentation. It was the first Rotary presentation I had been to that I didn't catch a single person nodding off, including my own. Any Rotarian reading this will appreciate that statement.


Me, Eric, Dave, and drinks!
