We started our meeting today with the usual procedures.
Caroline said "grace".
 
The meeting was pretty quite for quite a while until we had a couple of happy dollars and a sad dollar. The sad one was because Tony was not present and that was why it was so quite. I am sorry but I can't remember what the happy dollars were for.
 
Ted announced he is working on this years foundation gifts & will be contacting members soon about that. He also announced that George once again this year is donating his Paul Harris Fellow points to the club for matching donations. Ted will advise us more about this soon. The goal is to have every member in our club be a Paul Harris Fellow. With the matching points we should be able to achieve this goal, this Rotary year.
 
President Karl announced that the Christmas party will be held January 23 at noon upstairs at The Quarry. Please bring guests and let Jim know if you will be coming soon so we can have a count for the restaurant, The Rotabarrians are practicing for this party now.
 
Karl also announced that all the wonderful Dancing With The Stars event photos have been posted on our web site (barrevtrotary.org). You can download any of them if you want to keep some or print them. If you had guests at the event please spread the word about the pictures as they might want some.
Karl is looking for a volunteer to do the Granite Chips when Jim is not at a meeting.
