Later in the afternoon the entire team met at
Englewood beach for BBQ, fellowship, sunning (don't forget the sunblock) and
swimming.

The Agenda for Monday was a trip to Rotary Camp
Florida. Rune planned a Team Meeting during the two hour drive. |

|

That evening Harbor Rotary provided dinner.
Following introductions, Linda was surprised with a plus-two Paul Harris
award while Chris and Jim enjoyed a peak at Tuesday morning's club bulletin.
Others concentrated on the food. |

Tuesday was Rune's birthday, celebrated with a flaming
Danish. Karol Wyckoff presented each with a package of her artwork.
This was the first official presentation by the Team, which included a
fairytale of Trolls and Vikings. |

Following a hard day of Rotary presentations, fish
farms and orange groves, the group helped Rune celebrate his birthday at a
popular restaurant. |

River, presenting the History of Norway Fairytale. |

afternoon,
lounging after an ecology tour at Ponce Park, and a
visit by neighbor Lois who has family in Norway. She wanted to hear
their accents though Rune and Niclas insist they have none. |

Later at the Punta Gorda Rotary dinner, Niclas
inspects an American brandy while Hanne laughs with Punta Gorda's irreverent
jokester, Bob Schlichter.
