Wednesday, the 21st of August was special for one particular reason. It was the first Club Assembly for all Breakfast Rotarians under the leadership of President Cheryl Scott. Unlike some past club assemblies, all that showed certainly enjoyed the fanfare that we always have during our regular meetings. As a matter of fact, when I left Wednesday morning I had so much “pumped up” enthusiasm it did not even feel I had attended a typical club assembly. So for those that attended, and those that missed here you go with The Beacon!
Past President Denise Haynes must be practicing the morning songs as she is leading us in some outstanding American patriotic songs. (and she knows all the words) We sang, Grand Ole Flag, thank you Denise! Thank you Andrew Ozanich for the morning prayer. It was certainly heartfelt, and we sure ditto your gratitude for all our blessings.
We were honored to have one of the friendliest guys in town, Visiting Rotarian Steve Gibbs of Rotary East and his wife Li of Twilight. If you don’t know Steve, get to know him. He is awesome when it comes to Rock Music trivia! Yes, last but not certainly least, Sandi Schwartz, past District 5240
Governor (East Rotary). Sandi was with us for a Secret Squirrel mission. You’ll find out later.
Jennifer Yamauchi, honorary member of BBRC and Golden Valley High Interact Advisor also graced us with her presence. She even got the kids up early to be here. That’s right, 8 Interact Kids! They all came for the food…No they came to celebrate what I am going to tell you about in a minute, wait for it…
Big Greg Desme is celebrating 36 years of marriage on August 27th and that his son Grant just became a married man! Also, a new granddaughter! What a story, what a future. Congrats Greg!
Club Anniversaries go to Mike “we miss you” Turnipseed and Athena “yeah I see a future club president here” Collup. We are so glad you are both with us.
Holy Cow! In the house was Honorary Member Adoree Roberson, Ken too. Now talk about a lovely lady. Here you go. Hi Adoree!
