MINUTES OF LAST WEEK'S MEETING
WDC Rotary Club
Meeting Minutes 2/28/19
We were led in prayer and pledge by Mike Ough
We had 13 members present.  No guests today
Treasurer’s report:  $1,921.78
Member Moment:  Diane Johnson shared her story with us.  She also told us the amazing story of her son’s recent health episode and how her grandkids become instant hero’s in saving his life. 
Announcements/discussion:
  • Several members pledged to meet Gail’s $100 challenge with a gift to support our Foundation Community Project.
  • Tod reported that the EPS scholarship candidate’s information has now been disseminated to the volunteer screeners. The deadline is 3/31 to have these
  •  
  • The Rotary Scholarship Golf Outing is June 17th.  Hole sponsors are a major part in the fundraising effort. It’s never too early to solicit.
  • The new breakfast option was “rolled” out.  Thanks to Rita for the hot, fresh, and bountiful coffee, and to Mike for picking up the pastries!
Presentation: 
I introduced Tyler Curnes who joined us again.  Tyler is the owner of Main Street Studios and Gallery in Olde Town Elkhorn.  Tyler shared a presentation about the recent Snow Fest Snow Sculpture Competition that he organized and hosted two weeks ago.  An estimated 2,500 people came to town to enjoy the creativity of artists and to join the Winter-time fun.
Thanks Tyler, for your vison.  We look forward to a bigger and better event next year and for years to come!  
Drawing:
Mike O. had the winning ticket but was unsuccessful in snatching the orange ball.

RON'S RAMBLING
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.
