Roseland Rotary Meeting February 20, 2014

Rotary meeting of 2-20-14                               

When will it end?  94 inches of snow to date:  WEATHER, WEATHER, WEATHER, OLYMPICS, OLYMPICS, and OLYMPICS.  One record after another is broken.  Why can’t we break a few Roseland Rotary records ourselves?  We have between 37 to 40 members in Roseland Rotary at any given minute, but seem to receive only 18 o 22 members per Club meeting.  Where are the other half of our Club members?  Why not support your Club!  We are having traffic speakers and excellent food.  See you at our next noon meeting.  Sorry, we know you Floridians and others who are out of town will miss.  However, can’t believe all missing members are out of town?  Today was our Great Evening Get-Together with 18 in attendance including 5 visitors with 2 potential new members.

MEETING AFTER HOURS was the program this week.  No opening ceremonies and no Speaker other than our own members face to face. Six Roseland Rotary History Albums were spread throughout the room and hopefully contributed to the many conversations that took place. We had a very informal gathering in the Waterford Estates Lodge Bar Room because the regular meeting dinning room was reserved for our District Pre -PETS meeting with our District Governor 2013-2014 Christina R. Dougherty.  After her meeting, CHRISTINA DOUGHERTY visited our gathering and mixed in with our attendees visiting table to table.  We had an excellent meal of grilled chicken breast, baked potato with cheese and chives, and a vegetable of sliced almond green beans, topped with a peanut butter cookie for dessert.

We hope everyone made it home without problems, as a very dense fog was present as everyone left.  Christina has to travel to La Porte in this weather condition also.

Our noon speaker next Thursday will be JENNIFER PITTMAN, SOUTH BEND SCHOOLS.

Can everyone say," nice job Bob"
