President Karen welcomed all to the March 28, 2023 club meeting held at Black River Innovation Center.

For our inspiration moment, Christian read a poem by Paul Kendell:

PIZZA
 
A pizza is a prayer
In its cheesy, bready goodness.
 
A pizza is a prayer
In its wholeness and welcoming of all toppings
Even strange ones, side by side
 
A pizza is a prayer
In how each piece, though unique
Stretches out cheesy tendrils as it is pulled away
Not wanting to forget those who stood with it in the scorching flames
 
A pizza is a prayer
In its bulging bubbles and blackened burns
Showing that the unexpected and pain can be part of a whole
 
A pizza is a prayer
In being broken to draw together friends.
 
PROGRAM
