Bill did not have any report from the nominating committee but expects nominations by next Wednesday. We also have a first posting for Pierre Giroux.

Karen said she has most of the money turned in for the $100 Raffle but needs anyone who hasn’t turned in their money to do so today. If you can’t sell your tickets, she has two people looking to buy them. Don’t forget to join us on November 12^th at 6 pm at Duffy’s to announce the winners.

Lucie is sending around a sign-up sheet for the Stuff the Bus event on 11/14. We are not allowed to solicit or approach people, we can just collect what people bring to us. Bill thanked Lucie for all her hard work organizing this event and for the radio ad.

Jim spoke about the house project with the Biddeford COT. Keith is working on the title, Roland Eon is working on insurance, the kids are working on drawings of floor plans, and we need Rotarians to help with demolition, etc. Jim has the budget all done. Maybe we’ll add a small garage? There are still many questions to iron out before we have a green light. The Vocational Committee and Board members are asked to stay after this meeting to discuss this further.

Bill thanked Frank for coordinating the Dictionary Project. All schools except 2 are delivered.

Thank you again to Ken for a very successful Beer Fest.

The work project for 11/7 has been postponed due to some ramp issues with the Fire Marshal.

Don’t forget we are ringing the bell for the Salvation Army on 12/18. Sign up next week.
