Pictures from Frances Chu's Blog about Rotary 8/13 Program

WHAT DO TALENTED PEOPLE DO AFTER THEY RETIRED?
Write a book of course!


We had a wonderful program at the Briarcliff Rotary Friday 8 / 13. On the back drop were a picture of an interesting painting and a big picture of a cover of a book.


It was a marvelous program. Speaker Dorsey Price Salerno was a soft spoken lady. She gave her talk without any notes. She captivated the full attention of the audience; the room was so quiet that we could hear every word she said very clearly. She talked about her experience and the research she did in all those cities and towns that her husband accompanied her for the writing of the book. She explained the interesting painting that was displayed on an easel.


It was most interesting that she occasionally asked her husband Roberto "Did I forget anything?" Or "What else should I tell them?" Roberto, or Dr. Robert Salerno, is a retired surgeon sitting among the audience gave her an admiring look and nodding his head with a loving smile.


Then her husband went up and explained the rationale behind each unique graphic part of the Cover of the Book which he designed.


They are a great team.

After the presentation, I bought a copy of the book and asked both Dorsey and Roberto for their autographs.


Our Rotary Club's recording secretary Don Wilde will be writing a report about the program which will be posted on our Rotary Club's Blog site and I will include a link to it. Meanwhile, I just can't wait to read my copy of the wonderful book "The Bacchus Claim" by Dorsey Price Salerno.

Here is a link to learn more about Dorsey Price Salerno. Enjoy!
