B-S Rotary Board Meeting
P&CNov 07, 2018
7:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Joe Moreshead
I guess words mean things. When I said I was not going to put a lot of emphasis on meeting attendance I should have been a little more articulate in explaining my thoughts. I miss you guys. Last week we had a great meeting all 15 or so of us. Roland and Sue gave a program on their trip to Jordan; it was a great presentation. One reason to go to meetings is to talk, hang out, laugh and exchange ideas, get out of the office, get a break. I think I can easily speak for all of us when I say we are all working too damn hard, we need a break. I want our meetings to be that break.
I know that we don’t have the greatest venue for our meetings. I just hope that some of these hotels get built around town and have restaurants that would love to have our business. I hope to go back to Rotary’s roots. It has been suggested by a number of folks to rotate meeting places. I will bring it up to the board at our next meeting. Keep in mind that it takes work to arrange meeting places, etc. So if we pursue this avenue I will need help pulling it off. Any takers out there?
We have what I think is a rather important meeting this week, 10/03. I hope you can attend. First, the location is the Biddeford Center of Technology. We are going to reap the benefits of the $4000.00 we spent to send a team of kids to participate in Odyssey of the Mind by hearing about their experience. We should show these kids that we not only support them financially but really do care about them individually and collectively. We might have some future Rotarian’s; maybe their participation in this great experience could potentially change the trajectory of their life. You can just never know the impact we can have as Rotarians.
At the meeting you will also be presented with a request to support the purchase of two AED’s for McArthur Library. We need you there to hear your voice and vote.
Lucie K is going to follow up with signup sheets for “Stuff the Bus” for October 27th . She is also emailing all of you.
Did you buy or sell any Beer Fest tickets? Ken is looking for sales and volunteers for our October 20 Celebration of Suds.
The board will also be meeting that morning at Paquin & Carroll at 7:45, please feel free to join us. I hope to see a great at BRCOT.
Yours In Rotary,
Joe

Dr. Joe introduced our guest speaker Hayden Anderson, Executive Director of the Maine Humanities Council.
Hayden began his presentation reminiscing about his grandfather who was a Rotarian in Amsterdam NY. He would sometimes bring young Hayden to meetings in noisy rooms much like our setting today.
The Maine Humanities Council is one of 56 councils in states and territories of the United States.
The mission of the council (as per their website) is to "use the humanities— literature, history, philosophy, and culture — as a tool for positive change in Maine communities. Our programs and grants encourage critical thinking and conversations across social, economic, and cultural boundaries."
They do this thru various initiatives; partnerships with public libraries in 85 towns across Maine, as well as working with Adult Education programs in the state.
They support local efforts through grants. Annually the spend about $200,000 in grants; but the median grant amount is only about $1000.
They are starting a Veterans Book Group here in Biddeford. It will start November 1st and be held at the Seeds of Hope Neighborhood Center on South St.
The council is also evaluating how to prepare for Maine's becentenial in 2020; seeking answers to the question, "How can history inform the future of Maine?"
Meeting adjourned at 1:15.

None of the members of the Tack Committee stepped up to do the Tack in October (I have to thank Sabine for offering to still do it at the meeting) so you are stuck with me. I will do my best to report the facts (no I have lied already).
Where: The October 3 meeting was at the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology so for those members who went to the Run of the Mill I am assuming you eventually noticed that there were no banners, no bell, no President and no meeting there. The COT is really nice and we had this meeting in a large classroom with incredibly comfortable chairs (now I know what a $35,000,000 bond can buy).
Greeters: We were greeted by the York County Federal CU TV star, Moriah who does a fantastic job in their TV ads about putting you more in debt or something like that. Oh, yeah, Lucie Kay was a greeter too.
Recess time? Since we were in a school, the bell rang and Joe Bassett immediately got up and went out for recess.
Formalities: Brian Dallaire led us in the 4 way test and Joe attempted to violate the concept of the separation of church and state by having Joe lead us in a prayer but the kids’ constitution rights were protected and we were without a prayer.
Earl: It was announced that Earl Goodwin continues to recover from fall earlier this year and he will not join us until after the holidays. That means we all need to fill the Earl’s huge shoes and step up and sell a lot more raffle tickets to insure that we continue to sell 100% of the $100 raffle tickets when we start that effort later this fall.
Member Changes: Rae Smith will be leaving our club and we wish her the best. She promised that she would continue to volunteer for events whenever she can. Fear not, however, because YCFCU employee Sherry Norton hopes to join the club so we will have at least one good member from the CU.
BEER: No, not a reference to Justice Kavanaugh, but instead the beer festival is coming right up on October 20 from 7:00 to 10:00 at the Pepperell Mill Campus. Tell your friends, sell tickets, volunteer the night of the event, drink beer. I drank beer in high school. I drank beer in college, I still like beer. A quote from the Kavanaugh hearings? Maybe, but I believe those are the same words that 95% of people who attended college would say if asked.
Tickets are now $30.00. Please sell all that you can. Incidentally, if you missed the meeting on the 3rd you missed a very nice cat fight between Sue G. and President Joe over the signup sheet and Sue won!
Stuff the Bus: We will be stuffing the bus, truck, car, plane, not sure on October 27 at Hannaford in Biddeford and probably Market Basket but there is nothing official from them yet. More details to follow but we need to do our part to help to feed the hungry and this drive brings in a lot of food and money for the local pantries.
New Banner: A new banner featuring our club and our very own Denis Elie and Jim Godbout has been ordered and will be displayed at various events.
Shocking: The Board voted to fund two new defibrillators, one of which will be placed at McArthur Library and Biddeford and the other may be placed at the Dyer Library in Saco. People sometimes get overstimulated reading so it is a good idea to have the paddles ready. Jeremy Ray indicated we may be able to purchase them through the schools at a discount. This is a nice gift for our communities.
Presidential Appeals: Joe indicated that while he said attendance requirements are relaxed we really should make more of an effort to attend meetings to see great programs like the one we saw on October 3. He also announced that a number of members are in arrears on their dues for a few billing cycles and he was going to call them and see if they want to pay or if they wish to bow out of the club. It would appear that some house cleaning may be appropriate. Joe also thanked Matt Simmons for setting up and bringing everything over for the meeting.
50/50: Brian Dallaire won, but lest you sigh too loudly take solace in the fact that it was for some reason a small pot. Perhaps some members felt it was inappropriate to gamble in school or they are just cheap.
Sergeant at Arms: Matt decided to turn things down a notch (after all we were in school) and go with happy dollars instead of fines. Lots of people were happy and here are a few:
- Sue Gajewski is going to be a grandmother for the first time.
- Dr. Joe, aka Larry, is heading to Virginia for a visit.
- Fausto’s company has been selected to the Leading Caterers of America which is a huge distinction. Blue Elephant Caterers will represent New England in that organization.
- Mark Nahorney is back from Spain.
- Denis Elie went to the Patriots and kicked Matt’s ass in raising money as the Sergeant at Arms.
- I believe Brian defecated himself in Las Vegas. Brian, what happens in your pants in Vegas should stay in Vegas.
- Brian was happy to give Denis his multiple sapphire Paul Harris Award. Congrats Denis.
- Candidate Grohman sucked up to the students in an election year. Hopefully they are 18 and can vote.
- Tammy Ackerman survived two festivals in Biddeford and is looking forward to the Maker’s Fair at the Pepperell Mill Campus on October 13, a free event at which local businesses and organizations can display their items or services.
- Heather Mclean announced she was headed to the Patriots on the 6th and to the Bruins home opener on the 8th. What color miniskirts go well with tailgating?
- Jeremy Ray admitted his short comings as a single dad and was looking forward to his wife coming home. I was wondering why his kids were in cages on his front lawn with hamster wheels and water feeders.
- Conrad Welzel thanked the club for its support of the Programs and finally admitted he does very little. I doubt that.
- Jim Godbout is headed to Ireland for some golf.
- Matt Simmons was happy for 6 years of being licensed. I would have thought he had been driving longer than that. He was also happy for Paulette Bonneau and all that she does and for his opportunity to teach adult education which may explain a lot about the financial literacy in our area.
- Lucie Kay and Fausto had to mention their Ménage a Trois wine. Let’s discuss multiple sexual partners and alcohol in school.
Program
Last year our club helped finance the BHS Odyssey of the Mind Team when it attended the World Championships at Iowa State University. Our program featured the coach of the team, Vicki Salo and three of the team members, Jerod, Gabe and Lucas. All three of the young men were very well spoken, incredibly well rounded and thrilled to be a part of the team. It was clear that they work hard as members of the team while playing sports, participating in Interact, participating in plays and taking difficult course loads. At least one of them described going to the World championship last year as the greatest experience of his life.
The team is built to problem solve and they have selected a structural problem in which they have to hold up 100’s of pounds with a balsa wood structure. Last year their balsa wood structure held up around 800 pounds which was 10th best in the world. They also must use their imaginations to come up with a skit for a particular theme and then they have to participate in a secret spontaneity part of the competition. Last year they were 17th in the world competition and they are hoping to crack the top 10 this year.
They gave members of the club a pipe cleaner and a poker chip and asked each member to make something with them. I was impressed with our club’s creativity in the two minutes though Mark Nahorney’s sperm model may have been a bit over the top, but funny.
Biddeford High School will host the regional and state Odyssey of the Minds this year and the top 2 teams from the state go to the World Championships at Michigan State. BHS has qualified for the world championships for the last 4 years and hopes to make it 5 in a row. This is a great opportunity for these kids and we should be proud that we helped them in their endeavors.

Respectfully submitted by your lowly, and I hope temporary, scribe.
Okay, so the Peanut Gallery has been on hiatus for a while. The Gallery has a few belated and a few current observations to share.
It was heartwarming to walk into the Tin Tin Buffet with Matt Simmons like we were walking into Cheers. Every employee there yelled “Matt” and I walked by a table with a brass plague on the back of a chair saying reserved for Matt Simmons. I just love celebrities.
Speaking of the Tin Tin Buffet, I am betting you are wondering where the name came from. I did some research. Apparently, the original name was the Rin Tin Tin Buffet and it was co-owned by, you guessed it, Rin Tin Tin. You have to invest those residuals somewhere. That name stuck for a while, but then they had a German sausage night and the co-owner mysteriously disappeared so they shortened the name to Tin Tin Buffet. Now you know.
Ken Farley has announced that he is trying to recruit a celebrity guest for the beer festival, Brett Kavanaugh. I could only imagine that throughout the Senate hearings Justice Kavanaugh had one of those thought bubbles over his head with Homer Simpson in it sighing “BEER”. I kept waiting for his Dr. Seuss beer rhyme to come out.
One Beer, two Beers, three Beers, four
I love my beer until I hit the floor
Five Beers, six Beers, seven Beers, more
That hoppy flavor I do adore.
Stay tuned to see whether he shows up on October 20.
Now I realize that Matt Simmons’ marketing life blood is contained in the Journal Weekend addition, a newspaper hurled in our driveway, run over by 1,000’s and read by dozens. I am wondering if the Journal really thinks that putting its paper in a baggy and then throwing it on the ground really protects it from getting wet. Short of hermetically sealing those bags, it seems to me that all the baggies do is hold in the water long enough to completely blur Matt’s face and insure that we will be taking the wet sack directly from the driveway to the trash can. Sorry Matt, that means I missed your article on the benefits in investing in Pokémon cards.
Finally, I have a social experiment I would like to try. At the next meeting at Run of the Mill, some members should get to the meeting early and sit at the cool kids’ table. I want to see how they react if they can’t sit there. I love social chaos.
That’s all the peanuts to be hurled right now. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Presentation by Roland Gagne and Sue Gajewski giving an overview of their travel to Jordan and the Collatoral Repair Project.
Sue began with some of the travel highlights with many photos of fellow rotarians and their exquisite hospitality in hosting Roland and Sue! She also shared with us some of their tourist travels visiting sites like Petra and the Dead Sea.
Roland shared the practical points of the grant as well as some staggering numbers. Jordan is a country with about 10 million people in it of which about 4 million are refugees from other countries. Only about 1% of refugees are resettled.

💜 Thank you Mary, Debbie, Paulette, Kristen, Moka, Roland and Paula for walking and helping us raise $1625 for Alzheimer’s research.
HI,
First, thank you all for making my first meeting great. I really am honored to hold the position. I get to follow some fantastic folks who have served as great stewards of our great club.
I wanted to write an article for the TACK because sitting outside on the deck for our first meeting was not really conducive to giving some words about what I would like to see us accomplish over the next 12 months.
Our motto this year is “ Be the Inspiration”. I will make sure to put the banner out this week. So, what are some of the goals we need to accomplish so we can “Be the Inspiration”- more meetings; not really. One of my biggest goals is to not waste your time. You are willing to give one of the most precious possessions you own, your time. I recognize that fact and will do my best to utilize your time to the fullest.
Seriously, as president elect everybody feels that they can give me their advice regarding what is wrong with the club and I have to agree with them on some issues. Even little ones like the check in sheet that we use to check in members every week, it was not working for everybody so it was reformatted and updated; you can thank Julie, our Secretary. People are not crazy about our meeting space, the food, the acoustics, the temperature, the number of meetings we have, etc. Until someone can come up with a better venue we will be at Run of the Mill for a while. I secretly fantasize that a nice hotel with a great restaurant will open with a beautiful dining room, perfect for hosting meetings. A guy can dream.
With respect to meetings, we will still have some 50 or so. I will do my best to be there every week however, I don’t expect you to. I will be proposing a new focus on service work instead of attendance. In order to do that I will need help with a lot of ad hoc committees for the in meeting service projects I want to propose. For example, I want to make a “birthday party in a bag” geared towards children, for the local food pantries. The bags will have everything for a child to have a birthday party. It will include, cake and frosting mix, table cloths, candles, etc. My vision is that 3 to 4 people will go shopping for the items on a Wednesday meeting day instead of coming to the meeting. The following week the club will assemble the bags at lunch- that will be the “program”.
I plan on having at least 3 in service meetings such as the birthday bags, hygiene kits for some of the shelters, writing cards and letters to service men and women serving. Help me think of some more.
Another project will be field trip meetings. I have already contacted the 3 principals in the local elementary schools, just realized I did not contact St. James… I told the principals that we have 20 to 30 volunteers that would love to show up at their schools on a Wednesday from 12:15 to 1:30 to participate in a project. We could read to the kids, have lunch with them, rearrange furniture, etc. . One principal has already emailed me and is very excited about the idea.
We will still have a club assembly meeting the first Wednesday of the month. The meeting will be a briefing on what happened at the Board meeting earlier in the day, a classification talk or two, charitable fund committee discussion and vote and any other issues that need to be dealt with.
In order to accomplish all of the things we want and keep people informed it is going to take communication. Bill Kany has agreed to take over the TACK this year. He has 12 volunteers who will each be responsible for the month. The TACK, Facebook and other social media will be important this year as we tackle our ambitious meeting schedule and goals. We have also added all of our past presidents to our email list so that they get the TACK and can be aware of the club happenings.
I have not planned any new fundraisers. If you have an idea let’s hear about. I have picked the following people for committees, if I am wrong and you are not interested please let me. My goal with most of the committees is to leave it up to the chair to recruit members. The list is as follows and is not complete:
TACK Bill Kany
Charitable Giving Jim McAllister
Scholarship Heather G and Fausto

In closing, 2018/2019 will be a good year to be a part of Rotary; to be the inspiration for people we interact with. I know people get a chuckle when I say my prayer “ Dear Lord, you give us so much yet expect so little in return. Let us live through your example.” I am not overly religious but, I do realize how lucky I am, how fortunate I am. I have been given so much. And as a result I have a deep need to want to give back; I know you feel the same way. Isn’t that why you joined Rotary.
Regards,
Joe
