OUR GUEST SPEAKER of August 18, 2010

Michael King

Mike addressed approximately 40 members of the North Reading and

Reading Clubs at a joint meeting, at the Hill View CC, on the 18th.

As may be seen above all of these Rotarians are interested in Mike's presentation, which

just happened to be trivia and how he remembers small details of sports history.

Michael is an author and has written four books.

And these Rotarians where also spell bound by Mike's ability to recall different names

and dates. Michael has generously agreed to assist the North Reading Club in

the preparation of the up coming Trivia Night, which will be held in October.
