Today I begin my record of our time in China. Hope you are amused… John and I moved here on the 4th of July, 2010. We brought the kids: Ty, Jake, and Victoria for the month of July. The hottest month on record for Beijing. (The day we landed it was 41 degrees Celsius!) With China's long recorded history, this is really saying something. Plus side: The air is so moist here that wrinkles look healthy and full, about 5 years younger. Way cheaper than Botox! It's always difficult to describe in words the differences living in another country.

A founding principle of Rotary was to meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie and enlarge one's circle of business and professional acquaintances. As the oldest service club in the world, Rotary club members represent a cross-section of the community's owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals. People who make decisions and influence policy. |
