President Nancy thanked PP Lloyd Gottman and PP Jim Suss for greeting this morning! Our Invocation was presented by PP Al Horton who (surprise! surprise!) reflected on baseball. He did not mention one of my favorite Yogi Berra quotes, "Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too." President Nancy reminded everyone that there will be a club board meeting on Thursday, April 5, 5:30 PM at Sue Aubin's office. All are welcome to attend and see how the sausage is ground. If you go, stay for the after-board meeting at one the local watering holes. Easily the best part of the meeting. The District 5450 Bulletin is out and everyone should take a look. A lot of really good information. One item-April 13 is the last day to register your business in the District Business Directory. This promises to be a valuable tool in building those important business and Rotary connections. The District Conference is set for May 19 and 20. President Nancy would like to see a nice contingent from Smoky Hill attend, so go onto the District website and take a look. SHRC received a nice thank you note from Shelter Box for contributing the cost of a box. If you have not seen one of these, you really should. They are amazing! The amount life sustaining things included is inspiring. I do not know if there will be one at the District Conference this year, but there often is. Worth attending the conference just for that. Sarg at Arms PPX2 Paul Urtz lamented to lack of birthdays and anniversaries this week to share. We all celebrated the fact that Paul did not have a joke to share. |
Smoky Hill was treated by a visit from President Abe Lincoln, accurately protrayed by Englewood Rotary Club's Past President Bruce Spear! Your Editarian met Bruce in the elevator at the District Conference in Black Hawk during my Presidential year. I couldn't help but ask if he ever played Abe, and he assured me it was something of a career! Bruce spent a few years in Washington, D.C. and was often greeted by adults and children alike as "Mr. President." It happened so often that Bruce undertook a study of President Lincoln and joined a group of Lincoln presenters!
