October 26th scheduled meeting also below is presented by Social Commnitee Chair Nancy Jones. Again, No Meetings at our usual location until November 2nd.

President Dave and other members will be there so if you would like to attend please do so. These are worthwhile events and a must to get to know Rotary from the area and district levels.

 Past President II Jeff Kaes announced a Celebration of Life for Gary Fletcher for Monday, October 19th at 12:10p.m. It will be held at Horan and McConaty Funeral Home on the corner of Dartmouth and Parker Road in Aurora. Jeff reports since we've been seeing Gary at 12:10, Mondays since 1982 we ought to meet one more time with him at Rotary. Jeff cautions that Gary's son, James, is very fragile so do refrain from hugging him and other physical shows of affection and condolences. James has seen many family tragedies in the past 6 years: his twin brother, his mother and now his father. Jeff asked us to keep James in our prayers, and indeed we must and I recommend for many moons to come. It usually is much more frightening and much harder a bit further from the initial event. Nevertheless, I digress and return to Jeff's remarks which are: All are invited to attend the Celebration and a reception will follow also on the Horan and McConaty grounds. Past District Governor Talee Crowe and Past President Terry Remigio and Jeff are putting together a program. As they knew Gary so well and for so many years, we can only expect it to be spectacular.

Board Meeting will be canceled for this month. As Past President Bev Edwards says: I don't think I've gotten my had around Gary's passing.
