This Weeks Meeting 06/12/2014

Last week we got fined again for not shaking Jim's hand when we came in.
Pravin got fined for his Anniversary and Birthday.  Doug Wilson got fined
for his Birthday at Shelia Murrin's Birthday Party.  I haven't seen the pictures,
but believe be me it was a great surprise for her.

This year all of our six $1000 dollar Scholarship Recipients happened to be attendees
of Mayfair High School.
Last week four of those were at our meeting.

​raised $7000 with Royale Health Care in Santa Ana.  She will attend The University of 
Denver, major in English, and Master in Library Science.

Ken Hall drew the orange ball.

This week The Rotarian of The Year paid a last official visit to our club.
We all raised our champagne glasses and had a bitter-sweet lemonade
toast to A.G. Linton Morgan who we will most certainly miss!
I know he will be back.
It is said that a `Hero' is defined as `Selfless'.  I know Linton is that.
