Becker. Guest President: In a continuing effort to keep the members of CODGERS active in the club, President Robert has periodically asked a past president to fill in for him when he was attending meetings out of the county. For today's meeting he choose past president Bob Mapes because several meetings ago, Bob started asking Pres. Robert and other club members questions about the El Centro Rotary Club's history. It appeared to Pres. Robert that Bob really wanted be president again, at least for a day. So although Pres. Robert canceled his trip to Sacramento due to inclement weather, he still honored his commitment to let the big BM to be president for a day.
