Last Week's Meeting
Last week former district governor Bill Ferreira attended our meeting to encourage us to attend the Rotary International conference in Atlanta, June 10-14.  The preregistration discount ends on March 31st.  See http://www.riconvention.org/en/atlanta/register to register for the conference.
Club member Bill Donahue, a financial advisor for Edward Jones in Buffalo Grove, gave us a talk on the state of the stock market and explained how he became interested in a career in financial planning.  Thanks, Bill, for a great presentation!

Club Member Pete Panayiotou Honored at Village Board Meeting
Shawn Collins reports that at the Village Board Meeting last night, club member Pete Panayiotou was presented with a village proclamation commending him for his philanthropic contributions to the Village of Buffalo Grove.
He was very humble (and quiet) about the event and there were no family members in attendance. He stated to me that he was happy giving to Buffalo Grove and enjoyed doing so quietly. I was impressed with his gracious demeanor and humble acceptance of the award. He should absolutely make Rotary proud to have him as a member in the club.
