Roseland Rotary Newsletter November 9, 2017
Sixteen loyal Rotarians attended the Roseland Rotary Meeting and were treated to a wonderful speaker, tasty food, great fellowship and the knowledge that they are supporting one the world’s finest organizations.
Note, the newsletter has changed as has the web site. Club Runner has made it mandatory that we update our site to one of their new formats. This was a required change to be made by the end of November. I did the update but did not like the result and relayed my displeasure to Club Runner. They are going to make further changes to our site and help me make further cosmetic changes. Please bear with us as we proceed forward with these changes. Club Runners reason for changing, is to make the site more device friendly. In other words, easier to use with your cell phone and tablets. I am not sure what effect this will have on the newsletter, but we will know by the end of the day.

Today’s speaker was Lisa Waterman Rotary District 6540 Governor. Lisa spoke on the Rotary Clubs history, it's current membership numbers and what's been accomplished through the club. Rotary drove the fight to end polio in 1985 
and as of now polio is nearly eradicated. Lisa encouraged us to invite people to join Rotary. She states, most people don't join because they've never been asked.I have heard Lisa speak before and she is a wonderful speaker and a true Rotarian.
A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor queries. "No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!"
Morey Rosen won the drawing and he donated the winnings to Lisa Waterman of Rotary. He could have donated to me and I would have used it to build a new Florida Estate. I would have let Roseland Rotarians come down and stay there free for a day!
Everyone please thank Rachel for getting meeting notes and pictures to me so that we can publish this weekly newsletter. Thanks Rachel
