IT HAPPENED THIS WEEK November 17, 2010
By Don Trepany
It was an evening meeting for the Culver City Rotary Club!! Our invocation was given by Janet Chabola and the pledge was led by "Boom Boom" Raack. We sang "God Bless America" with Ann Murakami, Bill Gardner and Richard Marcus in the lead.
After we enjoyed our dinner, Cy Pierce introduced our visiting Rotarian: Past District Governor David Moyers. We also had numerous guests. Richard Marcus led in singing the Welcome Song.
We had some health updates and Cy's Sandy Carey looked great even though she recently had her appendix removed. And speaking of looking great, Richard Marcus just lost 38 pounds and he is enjoying the health benefits that come with the weight loss.
Next, Ann Murakami reminded us about the Bill Winn Holiday party on December 8th where we will be having a toy drive to benefit the military and their families. Our holiday party is on Friday, December 17th in Long Beach. Then on December 18 we will be feeding 100 local families with the Latinos Unidos club.
We got lucky as there were NO FINES!! YEA!! So we went to the program which was PDG David Moyers awarding 15 Paul Harris Fellows, which made our club 100% Paul Harris Fellows!!! David also inducted a new member, Diane Etling from the YMCA!! Welcome Diane!!!!
To close out the meeting Linda Black came up and recognized Tony Haworh as an honorary Rotarian. Way to go, Tony!
Remember that we are dark next week for Thanksgiving.
Have a good week Rotarians!!
