Tony is happy to be back from Rotary International Conference and will give a full report to the club at a later meeting but shared a heart warming story of how he was requested to help a fellow Rotarian in a life threatening situation who needed immediate Blood transfusion.  Tony of course met the man and told him not to worry about blood because he was of a matching blood type.  As it turned out a new supply became available at the last minute.

50 50 and Sarge and Happy Bucks

50 50 winners were Neil for first and second,  not Chuck ?

SARGE  today was Greg Parker

    First off , as usual , was Ralph because he had passed his scheduled sarge job off to Greg.  Then there was the birthday table , followed by Neil $3.  ( cause he doesn't sweat the small stuff) for winning first in 50/50 Second is still a mystery to your editor but Brian was fined because he lost Greg's ticket somehow and Greg figured it was probably  the real winner. Greg could not help noticing when he first arrived and as usual went straight to the lunch buffet was distressed that there were a lot of people ahead of him and most distressing was that some Rotarians were lined up ahead of today's guests.  Those whom he could  not name other than Tony A. were fined.  Angelo Orsi who was here to see his daughter awarded student of the month was fined just for being himself and Ralph who suggested Angelo's fine got fined himself for a second time for his effort.

 

 

Happy Bucks

  New Chuck, that's Tempest not  Beeton  was happy to be back here at his old Rotary club and to be welcomed so warmly.  Don Whitfield ,although truly  inspired by Tony's story is happy that his own blood transfusion was a smooth operation. Bill Darker was happy to report the occasion of attending his granddaughters graduation from University.  Old Chuck , that's Beeton not Tempest, is happy to say that he will soon be attending his grandson's graduation as a CPA.  Greg proudly shared that his daughter who is a very talented tennis player and who may be taking a tennis scholarship at a US university has just competed in all Ontario Tennis completion and earned second overall.  Chad Ingram informed us how pleased he was to have witnessed recently at a missions in Africa presentation a very prominent  Rotary Wheel Emblem being displayed beside the Salvation Army Shield . Tony was of course happy to have made the trip to Rotary International Conference in Korea and looks forward to telling us more about it at a future meeting.

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS:-
 
Each May or June, Rotary International holds a worldwide convention “to stimulate, inspire and inform all Rotarians at an international”. The convention may not be held in the same country more than two consecutive years.
 
This year’s convention scheduled for Soule Korea, May 28 – June 1.Next year – Atlanta, Georgia. Plan on attending the following year – Toronto, Ontario.
Program
 First part of todays program was of course the presentation of student awards, 
 
Most anticipated though was Angela Thomson's Lobsterfest presentation.  It was as we expected a very big success with earnings for Rotary of about 18,000.  All of the hardworking volunteers were thanked with great appreciation.  Angela auctioned off the left over booze and a few lonely lobsters and these amounts will add to the bottom line.
 
 
Although time was running very short were also able to run the dutch auction of tax receipts and raised another $1700 for foundation.
