DUXBURY ROTARY CLUB
BRIDGE May 11, 2016 for the meeting of May 18
Jim Middleton the Executive Director of Habitat For Humanity for Greater Plymouth presented “Abdul” (secret name) Hamadeh with a certificate of appreciation for his generous efforts in designing a lift for a young man with serious physical impairment. The teenager was not able to get himself up and down the stairs or go outside of a split-level home. His father had been carrying him up and down the stairs. Steve suggested to Habitat that Abdul had the expertise to design a system. Abdul took on this task and he became so involved with the family that he made a recent return visit to see the boy and inspect the lift. He said that he was “Glad that he had done this.”
TRIVIA NIGHT: Fred spoke to the Duxbury Business Association about Trivia Night with hopes that they will buy tickets. Bob and Steve have visited businesses, as have others. Michelle has agreed to be the moderator. $1,425.00 has been raised so far.
SCHOLARSHIPS: George has 24 essays, which he and his committee will narrow down to the two winners. The deadline is May 20.
SCHEDULE: Meeting May 18
May 21, Trivia Night
July 4, the parade float
August 20, Duck Race
FINES/RAFFLE: Paul collected funds from Michelle who, with her granddaughter Ava, was pictured in a Patrice Bergeron post sending good wishes on Mother’s Day. The post has received over 95,000 views. Sad news, Fred’s dog Derby passed away. Fred and Diane will be attending a seminar on marriage encounter teams in Texas.
