HEAD TABLE EXPERIMENT Actually, the two table seating arrangement wasn't innovative as we do it all the time for the scholarship banquets, however, it worked fine at our last meeting where there are two speakers because we had places for them to sit reserved and the host didn't have to bounce club members around to seat the speakers, plus the club President has an opportunity to chat with the speaker. INVOCATION Jasmine gave us a very nice invocation dedicated to MOTHER'S DAY. Well done! BUSINESS ITEMS Rita reported $3,839.54 in bank and following her report an action item was approved to maintain club dues at $200. Jim reported on the May 10 Lunch Bunch where the speakers were Alan Tast on Thunderbird cars and Cal Hinz on the Valley Veterans Memorial. (They will be speaking to the Club on the regular Thursday meeting on the 25th) Member Attendees at Shevy's included Duane Prorok, Jack Ott, Ariann Brown, Cal Hinz, Dick Krueger, Jim Tomanek, Rex Moats and Ron Mortensen. A guest was Karl Rohrbaugh of Edward Jones. Jim reported on the club's annual fund raising golf outing at the Pines on Monday, July 10th. Jim also announced a need for Rotary Volunteers for the COPE PANTRY PACKING process. (Peace Presbyterian May 24 evening) This has been officially titled as a CLUB SERVICE PROJECT, the more volunteers, the faster we are done. For your information, BUCK'S BAR AND GRILL in Venice, Nebraska, had a nice write up in Sunday's World Herald Midlands Section. Buck's was the location of a DIVE of our club a few years ago. Maybe its time to go again to see the improvements. |
Dawn Hovey and Rachel League from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) spoke to our group last week. Dawn was new to the CFF so she arranged for her deputy, Rachel League to speak. Rachel described how a combination of genes can lead to a lack of the protein in the body which maintains the mucus in the body in a fluid state so that it does not block the function of several organs in the body, including the lungs.
