Thoughts from Barry...
From Town and Country Magazine, the 1st Thanksgiving was held in mid. October...Thanksgiving leftovers lead to the first TV dinner...1st Thanksgiving extended menu included lobster, seal and swans...1st football game was held in 1870 between Yale vs Princeton....day after Thanksgiving is Roto Rooters busiest day

Happy Dollars
 
Linda - For her dad's birthday last Friday.
 
Martha - One for her Pumpkin Martini Party.  Super fun and brought in $320.   Another $ because she just got back from FL after spending several days at Disney with a 3 year old.
 
Woody's short story...Christmas Lights go on in Boston on Nov. 30.   For more than 50 years, Nova Scotia has given a tree to the people of Boston as thanks for relief efforts they sent following the December 6, 1917, explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor.
 
Kathy's Happy Dollar is for having a nice day off on Monday after holding 2 services on Sunday at 2 different churches.
 
Jennifer gave 1 dollar for her daughters' soccer team going undefeated this season and will give another dollar if John and Barry call her after the meeting.

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings: Of the things we think, say or do

  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
