Week of Jan. 1, 2019

Caldwell Rotary Club serves our community and our world through its educational and humanitarian projects!

NO ROTARY JANUARY 2nd!

So don't come!

I hope you read your bulletin!

Due to the date being so close to the New Year Day, January 1st, it was advisable to cancel that meeting due to expected low attendance and difficulty in procuring a program.

Regular meetings will start up again the following Wednesday, January 9th, and Milon McDaniel will be arranging for a speaker for that date.

BRING A POTENTIAL MEMBER JAN.16th

RSVP whether you are attending or not.

If you are bringing a guest,

please put their name in your RSVP!

Our club has decided to have a "Bring a Potential Member" for free day. It will be during the January 16th meeting. So carefully consider who you think might like to be a member in our club and invite them to come for that date.

Ask them early and get a confirmation from them so you can RSVP with their name so we can give our kitchen a headcount so we don't run out of food.

ROTARY'S DAVID JOHNSON

MEMORIAL BLOOD DRIVE

Front Row: Patrick Baumgart, Cece Flores, Jerry Bauman, Mia Carson (Jerry's great granddaughter), Marisela Pesina

Back Row: Aaron Buck, Harry Zanks (Leora's nephew), Marty Gallo (our exchange student).

It was a great day with lots of Rotary volunteers and donors during our annual Christmas Eve David Johnson Memorial Blood Drive.

We thank our volunteers: Milon McDaniel, Patrick Baumgart, Bob Jenkins, Marty Gallo (our Rotary Youth Exchange Student), Marisela Pesina, Cece Flores, Aaron Buck, Jerry Bauman & Mia Carson (his great granddaughter), Jeff Hunsicker and Harry Zanks (Leora's nephew who worked all shifts!).

We also thank our Rotarian donors and their family members who donated or even tried to donate: Joyce McDaniel, John Blaisdell, Leora & Sam Summers, Bob Jenkins & his daughter, Harry Zanks, and Marty Gallo (our exchange student).

I know I missed some folks, so if you are not listed and either worked or donated, please click on secretary Cece's email address: Cecilia@chaidaho.org to get your attendance "make-up" credit.

When we get the tally for pints donated, I will update you. It looked like it was very successful.

We thank Mark Flitton, who donated the apples and we especially thank West Valley Medical Center for their preparation and donation of stew. It was delicious!

FUN at ROTARY'S

REDNECK CHRISTMAS PARTY!

We had a lot of fun during our Santa's Redneck BBQ on December 19th! Our "Ugly Sweater" contest winner was Geoffrey Hill! As you can see, it wasn't a difficult decision. He won a "Yard" of Twix candy bars!

Now the "Cut Throat Wrapped Gift Exchange" was something else! There were definitely some unusual surprises.

It was a good time with lots of good food and laughs. Thanks to Mike Dittenber for barbequing the burgers,thanks to Sam Summers for helping Leora set up the tables and chairs before the lunch and thank all of you who stayed to help put things away and Special Thanks to the Caldwell Veterans Memorial Hall folks for letting us use their facility!

Have a Happy New Year and Be Safe!
