to our Club will be formed at St. Christophers. On October 20 a joint
meeting at Rotary in White Plains. There is a $5 parking charge. So no
meeting on October 23.

Speaker: Richard Alan Zuckerman on Wi-Fi, was raised and went to school at
PS 28 in Manhattan then Yonkers Roosevelt High School and University of
Rochester, then an A.B. in Math at Suny in Purchase. Started business in
1981 and eight years ago went into current business.



                              Summary of Talk
Wi Fi usually means wireless fidelity but actually means nothing. Wi Fi is
a set of radio frequencies, sometimes not strong because of many factors.

Friday: We hope the District Governor, Marilyn Masiero,  will give a talk
about Rotary. Otherwise Sy will give a Mideast Update.
