3/27/15 BITS & PIECES
President Kris opened this week's meeting by welcoming 49 Rotarians and 5 guests.
Tom Nickerson gave us our invocation, Jan Chapman led us in the pledge to the flag and we sung our patriotic song with Russ Burleigh on the keyboard.
Leonard Scott conducted our raffle. Eric Lusk had the opportunity to try and pull the winning card that would have paid off a handsome $887, but he came up with the wrong card. We nod in a token of sorrow. More chances for the masses!
May Madness! Friday, May 1, our famous re-gifting/new-item auction. Emily McEntee reminded us that everyone can find something of intrinsic value to donate (Minimum value $15.00). Maybe a gift certificate to your favorite restaurant.....tickets to a play, or a game....a boat ride or a weekend at your cabin.....or maybe something you received over the holidays that just wasn’t right for you, but would be cherished by someone else. For more info on how/what to donate, please contact Loretta (lrowe@maine.rr.com), Emily (emcentee@amica.com) or Ellen (ellen.niewoehner@td.com). This proceeds from this event goes to the operating fund of the club.
Steve Stomsky announced that the Boys and Girls Club has their annual auction coming up on Friday, April 10th and could really use some volunteer support from Rotary. We need about 6-8 volunteers to help them from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. They could also use a couple of volunteers the next day (Saturday) at 10:00 a.m. to help with the cleanup. Contact Steve for volunteering and/or additional info:

We noticed there was something different about member Bruce Moore....couldn't quite put our finger on it....but then, there it was or wasn'tâ......gone was the mustache that he has sported for more then 10 years!
