No smoke, no fire.

The arrival of a fire truck interrupted Meri Skilliter's talk at the weekly Rotary Club lunch meeting at The Inn on Tuesday.

The school superintendent (seen at the far right chatting with other Rotarians) was speaking to the club about the renewal tax levy being put to voters to decide in November.

There was no fire, but a defective smoke alarm, which firemen replaced. Rotarians, employees, hotel guests, and other diners soon returned to The Inn and continued the day they had planned. (Monty Siekerman photo)
