Last Week in Rotary
A Very Civilized Meeting
In last week's meeting, #2 of this Rotary year, we began to settle into a routine for the new year. Can any meeting of the Newark Rotary Club be considered routine?
President Hansen displayed the new Rotary International logo and banner, with the tag line, "Rotary Making a Difference". (The new logo can be seen at the top of this bulletin.) We received a positive response to the colorful nature of the new logo.
One deviation from "normal" was President Hansen's presentation of sunglasses to those who served on last year's board and/or are serving on the 2017-18 board. For all those who have helped bring our club to this point, and who are helping to shape our club going forward, the future is bright indeed! Recognizing Rodana Breen, Matt Breen's wife, for remaining steadfastly cheerful and supportive during Matt's 10 years as club treasurer, President Hansen awarded her a pair of those same coveted "The Future of Newark Rotary is Very Bright" sunglasses.
Rodana Breen is proud to be wearing her new sunglasses during the meeting.
Matt Breen's presentation of school trivia, baseball trivia and crime statistics from his recent vacation in Boston was a big hit with everyone!
With $25 added to the pot, our weekly raffle total was raised to $385. And the lucky winner was . . .
David Zehnder!
Wouldn't it be great if there were a picture of the lucky winner?
(Repeating a request made at the meeting, you are encouraged to take pictures during the meeting and send them to President Hansen for possible inclusion in a weekly Bulletin.)
