We have upgraded our club website to V3 of ClubRunner. Our bulletin (Windjammer) looks different. If you notice anything "off," please notify me (Loretta) immediately.
Our Jewell Island cruise on Casco Bay is set for this Thursday evening, July 9, 2015. (There will be no regular club meeting on July 10th.) We have ordered a good forecast for Thursday's weather: Coastal - a slow clear, balmy evening in the low 70's. For more details, click on the "Jewell Island Cruise" name at left.
From President Bowen:
This is a reminder that our centennial year starts this Thursday with the Jewell Island Cruise. The Bay Mist leaves at 6:00 pm from Casco Bay Lines. They should be boarding the boat around 5:30 pm. The boat returns at 9:00 pm. It's a "three-hour tour"!
If you haven't signed up yet, you can still show up with the price of $40 apiece, but there will be no food for you. If you like, you can bring your own. The cash bar will be available to all. For those that have signed up, thank you! There will be a "box dinner," cash bar available and further details once you are on the boat.
We'll see you on Thursday.....remember.....there is no regular Rotary meeting this Friday.
On Friday, July 10th from approx. 2-4p.m. we will be moving our archived files/materials from President Bowen's downtown offices to a dedicated storage area at an E. W. Noyes storage facility. Peter Noyes has graciously offered a huge storage room for our archives, where they will be safe and easily accessed for future reference. The room will be under lock and key with only two keys....for now, both keys will be under the care of our club Secretary.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2-3 VOLUNTEERS WHO WILL HELP US WITH THE MOVING PROCESS OF STORAGE TOTES, BOXES AND MISCELLANEOUS ROTARY MATERIALS.
We don't have a Rotary meeting on that day....Jewell Island Cruise is the night before.
Please contact Loretta at: lrowe@maine.rr.com or 883-5432, if you can help.
Last week was our first run at compiling our Windjammer on the new software upgrade and we did run into a few snags. As luck would have it, ClubRunner (whose technicians are located in Canada) was celebrating Canada Day on July 1st when we hit our biggest snags on Wednesday. Rather then hold the publication another day, a decision was made to send it out and work out any editorial corrections this week........sooo...
to give "air time" to those who missed out, we are re-publishing a few items IN PART from our "BITS & PIECES" article of July 3, 2015, namely:
Carl Spang opened the meeting with an Invocation.
Lester Evans took a turn at drawing the Queen of Hearts, but luck was not with him. The pot is now up to $380. (why wouldn't we want to capture that hopeful enthusiasm?)
President Kris then asked his committee chairs to stand, as he thanked them for their hard work and support during the year.
President Kris and President-elect Bowen exchanged pins and the club welcomed Bowen as our new President, effective July 1, 2015.
The Presidents' "Thank you/Welcome" cake to "end and start" a new Rotary year!
The meeting minutes of the Portland Rotary Club's Board of Directors are posted on our website the month following their approval. From the "Home Page," click on the "Board Meeting Minutes" in the listing at the left.
