President's Message

Last week was the kick-off for the 2014-2015 Rotary year.  During the Club Assembly new board members were introduced as were the various program/project chairs.  Lidia Blair provided an update on Steps for Success and has things well in hand. The Fab Five provided a post mortem on the highly successful BBQ .  The bottom line was that we raised more funds from this event that any other event the Club has held. Fantastic effort by all! Jan Eric was recognized (as were others) for his special 50^th birthday and given a present by Bob Ricks to celebrate the moment.  The gift was the book titled “The Red Badge of Courage” which was passed around for members to inscribe comments for  our illustrious Past President who still holds the record for being the longest Red Badger in history.

 

This week Lou Ann will be back so Stewart Cusimano will lead the meeting with commentary on Lou Ann’s outstanding year as the first woman President of the Cub. Stewart has been working on this for a while and I am sure he will entertain us all with a factual account of Lou Ann’s year.  A meeting not to be missed.
