The club had our installation dinner at the Arboretum Club on June 30.  Our new officers for the Rotary year 2015-16 are:

President Aaron Appell, Past President Quintin Sleigh, President-Elect Dane Bragg, Secretary Ryan Risinger, Treasurer Brian Shepard and Members at Large Andy Spetter, Stephen Legge and Dan Wolf.  Congratulations and thank you for your commitment to our club!  Al Viehman was the recipient of the Bill Reid Award, and Adriane Johnson was named the Rotarian of the Year.  Shawn Collins was inducted as a new member (shown here being congratulated by his wife, Past President Pam), and Darren Boundy became a Paul Harris fellow.  Ernie Karge and Glenn Meier were recognized for their perfect attendance since they became members of the club (Glenn in 1978 and Ernie the following year).  We also celebrated because it was Ernie's birthday!  Thank you to Past District Governor Bill Ferreira for acting as a wonderful MC for the evening.  Magician Dennis DeBondt was also very entertaining.  A great night for our club!

 

 

Last week we had retired teacher and graphologist Charlie Benedetti, who lives in Lincolnshire, talk to us.  He does handwriting analysis and stressed the importance of children learning cursive writing at an early age.   He is anxious to bring his message to schools where the act of cursive writing seems no longer important.  

 

       

 

 

RSVP to Martha at weiss.martha@gmail.com. or tell her at a meeting where there will be a sign-up sheet for side dishes and desserts.  This is the night before Danny departs for Ecuador where his family is anxiously awaiting his return.

Be sure to come out and support our Rotary Village Green concert series!!
