Famous Vebivore Dr. Richard Lederer entertained us all with a  refresher on homophones, homographs, palindromes, and ambigrams. The word play was contagious with President Art sharing a few of his own puns. Dr. Lederer, a lifelong Rotarian, also raised the stakes by auctioning his time and expertise with the proceeds going to our club.
