Roseland Rotary Meeting July 20, 2017
 
Roseland Rotary had a great lunch thanks to the Chef at the Waterford Lodge. We had Fried Fish, French Fries, Cole Slaw and Mixed Vegetables for lunch and it was good.  There were 12 members, 1 guest, Rachel Bernhard, and our speaker in attendance.  Dave Keck gave the prayer and Joe Maloney lead the Pledge and Four Way Test.
 
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common: they should both be changed regularly… and for the same reason.
 
Did you know that Sam Kovacevich has been in the hospital and has recently been released?  Our Prayers are with Sam and his family.  Don Kulwicki will be leaving next week on his road trip.  It was good to see Jason Taege in attendance today.  Jason is on the road on Thursday’s but shows up for meetings whenever possible.  Thanks Jason!
 
Saturday, 8:00 -9:00 am, be at El Campito School, 1024 West Thomas Street, South Bend, Indiana 46601 for our painting detail.  Most of us can do a little painting so please show up in your old painting clothes.  Do your part as a Roseland Rotarian.
 
Confucius say… dirty hands make your nose itch.
 
Joe Maloney ran the meeting as President Paula Sours was unable to attend.  Joe had Dave Keck explain more about Saturdays work detail at the El Campito School on Thomas Street.  Joe talked about the $1 MILLION HOLE-IN-ONE CONTEST Sponsored by Roseland Rotary August 2, 2017. Every Roseland Rotarian should sign up to help.  More to come
 
When asked if they would have sex with Bill Clinton, 86% of women in D.C. said, "Not again."
 
Last week’s Newsletter asked the question about a picture, “do you know what this is”.  At today’s meeting it was asked if anyone saw this and does anyone know the answer? No one knew or no one read it.  The answer is Lyman Samuel.
 
What do you get when you cross a corrupt lawyer with a crooked politician? Chelsea Clinton.
 
Happy Dollars including Dr. Frank Toepp celebrating his daughter’s 40th wedding anniversary.  Dave Keck fined Cliff Witkowski for having his picture in the newspaper. One of Cliff’s cartoons was featured in the Tribunes Editorial page.  Cliff was unaware it was in the paper. Don Kulwicki for no pin. George Stump paid a dollar because it was a compelling thing to do. Ben Bendit was happy our speaker was here.  Morris Rosen was happy the Cub’s have won 6 in a row. Bob Sones was happy Jason Taege was at our meeting. Dave Keck seconded that and it cost him a dollar.  Joe Maloney was happy he found a Rotary Pin from the year 2000.
 
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.
 
Jason Taege gave his 3 minute speech. Jason is a banker and he told us a little about the banking business.  He talked about the way banking was when he got into the business and what it is going to be like in the next 20 years. Maybe we should get Jason as a speaker as there was much interest in his talk.

Kathleen Murphy, Director of Marketing for Trinity Health Systems PACE Program was today’s speaker. Trinity Health PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a member of Trinity Health, one of the largest multi-institutional Catholic health care delivery systems in the nation. Trinity Health serves people and communities in 21 states from coast to coast with 91 hospitals, and 126 continuing care facilities, home health and hospice programs that provide more than 2.5 million visits annually, and 14 PACE center locations.
Trinity Health was formed in May 2013, when Trinity Health and Catholic Health East officially came together to strengthen their shared mission, increase excellence in care and advance transformative efforts with our unified voice. With annual operating revenues of about $15.8 billion and assets of about $20.4 billion, the new organization returns about $1 billion to its communities annually in the form of charity care and other community benefit programs.
 
Committed to those who are poor and underserved in its communities, Trinity Health is known for its focus on the country's aging population. As a single, unified ministry, the organization is the innovator of Senior Emergency Departments, the largest not-for-profit provider of home health care services — ranked by number of visits — in the nation, as well as the nation’s leading provider of PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) based on the number of available programs.
 
Man who keep feet firmly on ground have trouble putting on pants!
 
Ben asked the club to solve a riddle,
 
        I turn polar bears white and I will make you cry.
        I make guys have to pee and girls comb their hair.    
        I make celebrities look stupid and normal people look like celebrities.
        I turn pancakes brown and make your champagne bubble.
        If you squeeze me, I’ll pop.
        If you look at me, you’ll pop.
        Can you guess the riddle?
 
Be at next week’s meeting to find out the answer.
 
When you are over the hill, you pick up speed.
 
By the way, 97% of Harvard graduates cannot figure the above riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less.
 
When you become senile, you won't know it.

Al Veldman left the meeting early and won the drawing.  Al made enough to pay his fines for leaving early.  That’s what he gets for not inviting us to the Elizabeth’s Veldman's Birthday Party.
 
I saw this sign the other day, “Free Puppies”: part German shepherd, part stupid dog.
 
 
Rotarians, go forth into the world with you head held high, a smile on your face, a briskness to your step and a helping hand where needed.
