I am filling in for Amanda in getting our newsletter out. It is a fairly easy task after you figure out how to manipulate the Club Runner software. With her position as Certified Public Account during income tax season consuming extra time, I am happy to fill in.
I chatted with Del Morgan last week, he is no longer connected to the internet, which is probably a blessing because he won't be getting spam and all the other junk that the internet brings, not to forget all those crooks, national and international, trying to attack your person treasures. Del has difficulty with his balance so probably doesn't get out much. There is probably a lot of activity at the retirement residence where he resides where he can flash is Rotary Badge.
Last year at membership renewal time, we had to drop a member or two so that our membership growth since last July is negative and we haven't added any members. I have my eye on my grandson, Nick Samuelson, who is currently going to Orthodontic School in Atlanta GA and will take over his father's Greg's practice when he graduates. The practice is located primarily at one hundred and thirty something Maple Street. Get him signed up for Rotary before he gets too busy.
This Thursday will feature our new breakfast format which will consist of coffee and pastries. Rita is going to make the coffee and Mike O is going to get the pastries from the Quick Shop. So, if you want your favorite pastry, you had better get to the meeting early to get your pick. Coffee and Pastry will cost $5 with coffee only at $2. (I don't know if it was mentioned that pastry only would be $3, do the math) I am also worried that Rita might not be unavailable some morning and we will have to survive with coffee made by Rolly.
