Program
Patty Sims introduced her nephew, Chris Alderson. Chris’s forte is electronic and virtual reality games. He graduated from the Seattle Art Institute, went to work for Bungie maker of the Halo games, and is now with a small startup called “Poly Arc.” Chris showed videos of the virtual reality game with Quill, the small female mouse. This was a very interesting topic and Chris answered many questions about electronic games and the world of virtual reality.
Thank you, Chris, for an entertaining and enlightening program.
Blue Badge
Amy Mutal congratulated Gail Auslander on achieving her Blue Badge. The Club congratulated Gail on reaching this major milestone in her Rotary career.
Joker Pool
