BUSINESS OF ROTARY
President Elect Dave Maxwell got his first taste of the podium Monday, filling in for President Paul Urtz. Dave did talk like he was taking the club out for a test drive, to see if he could exercise some sort of "escape clause" later. 
 
Dave thanked everyone for their efforts on the golf tournament on Aug. 6, particularly since that money will fund his budget. PP Mark Johnson reported that the tournament was a big success, basically equaling last year's event, which was very successful. Last year's net income was $20,759. This year the total is $20,220, but there are still some moneys expected to come in. It also does not include the $600 from the live auction, nor the net raffle proceeds of $878. It also did not include the $50 from PP Jim Wingert from a live auction Monday for a left over gift certificate to Common Grounds. Congratulations to everyone in the club, but particularly to PP Joe Hughes and his Golf Committee. Great job!
 
PP Darryl Harvey reminded everyone that the Special Things For Special Kids shopping trip is this Saturday, Aug. 16, 8:45 am at the Walmart on Chambers and Parker Road. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Sergeant at Arms PP Gary Fletcher's WOW moment of the week involved the chocolate chip cookie. It was created by accident in 1930 at the Tollhouse Inn when the chocolate chips added to the cookie dough failed to completely melt into the rest of the cookie dough. The recipe was purchased the the Hershey's Company for a lifetime supply of chocolate. The picture above was of my cookie from Monday. I wanted a picture to illustrate this piece, so I dropped it onto the table. Before it hit the tablecloth, Gary had taken a bite out of it. For future reference, he's really quick for an old dude.
