Roseland Rotary meeting August 24, 2017
South Bend‘s weather might have been gloomy this day but not so at the Roseland Rotary meeting. We had 12 famous Roseland Rotarians, one outstanding guest and our dynamic speaker present for an incredible lunch at the marvelous Waterford Lodge.
A FRIEND OF MINE IS ALWAYS GOING ON ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY JOKES. YOU CAN'T
SHUTTER UP!Outstanding Rotarian Lyman Samuels was in attendance today. Everyone was happy to see our old friend looking well.
Q: If an electric train is going east at 60 miles an hour and there is a strong westerly wind, which way does the smoke from the train drift?
President Paula Sours called the meeting to order, Bill Brennen led the prayer and Paula led the pledge and Four Way Test. Paula announced that Frank Toepp was having surgery on his back either today or Friday. Paula was not sure which hospital Frank would be having his surgery at. Winnie Farquhar was not in attendance due to complications with her leg injury.
Prayers go out to and for our hurting Rotarians.YOUR CAMERA TAKES REALLY NICE PICTURES! THANKS, I TAUGHT IT EVERYTHING IT KNOWS...

Dave, Happy Dollar, Keck collected from Morey Rosen because the Cub’s will sweep tonight. Ben Bendit paid but I can’t remember for what. Lyman Samuel paid $10 for missing meetings. This is why we like Lyman so much, besides he’s fun! Don Kulwicki, George Stump and Jay Harwood paid for having no pin. Bill Brennen is happy for family coming to visit this next week. Joe Maloney visited Chicago last week and saw a sign on the South Side, “place of first nuclear explosion”. Morey Rosen pointed out it was set off by a Cub fan! Al Veldman was happy his grandson is getting married this weekend. Al sure goes to a lot of weddings and birthdays! Dave Keck paid a dollar for insulting Al.
Nothing new there! Somehow Dave avoided the naughty chair. The naughty chair is where a bad Rotarian can be placed if they misbehave. I personally don’t think there is enough chairs in our meeting room to handle this.Q: What’s full of holes but still holds water?
I HAD TO GIVE UP MY CAREER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE I KEPT LOSING FOCUS

Kayla is a professional photographer located in downtown South Bend. Her specialties include portrait, wedding, senior portraits and baby portraits. She is also involved in business and other
forms of photography. Her talk today was on Photography and your business. A lesson on how professional photography can help a business and poor photos can hurt a business.Unfortunately we ran out of time and did not have time to answer all the many questions members had.
The quickest way to make money at photography is to sell your camera.
Ben Bendit won today’s drawing and will be buying Trump Tower’s in New York City. Unfortunately, Ben did not receive the money and was unable to do so!
