Enjoyed lunch today with the Bristol Virginia/Tennessee Noon Rotary Club at the Bristol Train Station in downtown Bristol.
It's always nice to see a group of women and men who join together to foster the ideals of service to others; high ethical standards in business and professions; and goodwill, peace, and fellowship.
The Bristol Train Station was the perfect backdrop for a presentation on the strategic economic development plan. The completely renovated building is a centerpiece of downtown revitalization efforts nearly 162 years after the first passenger train pulled in on October 1, 1856. Several stations have ably served the community with the current building constructed in 1902.
The Rotarian's and guests in attendance were very kind to share their time - and it was my pleasure to do it.
