Roseland Rotary Meeting September 21, 2017
It was a warm sunny day in Roseland Indiana, as warm as the hearts of Roseland Rotary Club members. How was that for an opening? Thanks to the Waterford Lodge for another job well done. I do wish they could put out some Ice Tea for our luncheon, how much can Ice Tea cost? We had 13 amazing Rotarians .jpg)

Why are buildings called buildings if they're finished? Shouldn't they be called builts?

It was good to have President Paula Sours back after her brief illness. Paula was a little late but showed up a huffing, puffing and with some sweat running down her forehead. Seems our dedicated President had to run back and forth around St. Mary’s Campus in order to make our meeting. Dedicated! REMINDER, October 5th are Flu shots following our regular meeting. You will need to bring your insurance card with you to this meeting.
Joe Maloney is in Europe running around trying his best to communicate in German. He and Cindy are visiting their daughter and their new grandchild in Austria. They will be touring Europe for a couple of weeks following their visit. Wishing them a great time and hope they get the food they order and directions to where they want to go.
REMINDER, October 12th is our lunch meeting at the KROC Center. You will need to sign up for this meeting. If you have not already done so please let David Keck or Paula Sours know you will be attending.
David, Happy Man, Keck collected Happy Dollars and fines with his usual robust full exuberance. Wally
Johnson was happy his condo suffered no hurricane damage. Frank Toepp is happy his youngest son is also touring Europe. I am not sure how to respond to that! Ben Bendit is happy his Florida place suffered no damage. Cliff Witowski was happy to see Paula Sours, amen to that. Al Veldman was happy his daughter, in Clearwater Florida, only had a fence blow down. He was happy the Gazebo he built for her is still standing and with no damage. David Keck paid a dollar for putting up with Al. Al paid a dollar to get rid of David. If 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40, why can't Thursday be the new Friday?
Al Veldman passed out membership directories to anyone who did not have one. Ben Bendit announced he will be putting together a new directory. He also noted the attendance records are up to date in Club Runner and we may have a report next week.
Q: If a plane crashed on the Canada/USA border, where would the survivors be buried? Answer at next week’s meeting.
David Keck introduced our speaker Heather Goralski Senior Sales Specialist, Event Management University of Notre Dame. As a side note, Heather will be the incoming president of South Bend
Rotary Club. Heather’s main focus is the new Cross Roads facility and its many amenities including renting of these facilities. I personally lost count after the 23 restaurants, bars, suites, balconies and rooms that are available in this complex. Many of these overlook the field and are for a variety of events all of which Heather is in charge of. This place is really something special.For her presentation she brought a slide show picturing the various facilities, and the stadium. It’s unbelievable all that is contained within these huge structures. Venues are available for events such as Sports Lovers Experience, Dinner on the 50 yard line, Cocktails on the Concourse, Fantasy Football Draft Party’s, Pro for a Day, Weddings, Wedding Photos, Personalized Notre Dame Stadium Tours and much much more.
Maybe Roseland Rotary should consider a tour and a lunch at the Cross Roads. Do we have a 1842 Club member in our club?
A thief stuck a pistol in a man's ribs and said, "Give me your money." The gentleman, shocked by the sudden attack, said, "You cannot do this, I'm a congressman!" The thief replied, "In that case, give me MY money!"
Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men? Answer at next week’s meeting.
David Keck won today’s drawing and has generously donated the funds needed to build a new high rise hotel to be called the Roseland Rotary Hotel.
Go forth Rotarians and exaggerate not!
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
