President Amy called our meeting to order with her new tradition, singing "Imagine", flag salute, and 4-Way Test. Peggy provided us with the thought for the day, "One positive thought will change your day". Good way to start each day and each meeting!
Introductions followed, PDG Jack Arney was welcomed by Don Cotton.
Fine Master Pajak was back, and with a long memory! She started with unfinished business, calling on Peggy for "volunteering President Amy to chair the last fundraiser. Then called on Sandy, who it seems coerced President Amy into being Club President. For these egregious acts, $5 each was extracted. Then she moved to new business. This Fine Master does not mess around!!!
-Sandy for her love of shoes was "sold" a shoe wine bottle opener for $5.
-Maria for her special invitation to be a PRLS trainer, and enduring 3 days of
training. - Bell Ringer!
- Note, 7 women were chosen for PRLS leadership, not one male Rotarian. All men in the room were assessed $1 for not being leaders!
- Jack Kimmel had an amazing 80th Birthday Trip. He paid for his bragging
rights.
President Amy tried to sooth the wounds by giving anyone in sneakers an extra raffle ticket. Raffle Prize winner was PP Randy!
Program of the day was a lively game of Rotary Trivia. PDG Jack Arney MC'd and PDG Sandy Sava kept score. It was great fun and educational. I think the Yellow Team won, receiving a Pizza Party for all on the team. Kiddos to Jack and Sandy for a fun filled educational program
Reminder - Next Tuesday morning at Ettore's for breakfast!
Birthdays, Anniversaries and Rotary Anniversaries for July and August were celebrated. Congratulations to all who were honored. IceCream for ALL!
