President Ken circulated two Thank You notes from the Michael Goulet Brain Injury Foundation and also from Fairfield School.
 
President Ken thanked the charitable committee chairman, Jim McAllister, and his committee, for doing a great job with the charitable requests this year.  It has been very busy with many requests being presented.
 
Happy Birthdays went out to Jim Godbout and Alan Nelson!
 
Anniversary wishes went out to Reid Scher (1 year) and Josh Ellis (4 years)!
 
PP Karen Chasse had a few words regarding the upcoming $100 Raffle Ticket fundraiser that is just around the corner.  She will be vacationing in Alaska & wanted to make sure to get the ball rolling. Earl Goodwin, the master of ticket sales, will be rolling everything out at next week’s meeting.
If you have any questions, please shoot me a text at 229-4794 (but keep in mind I am four hours behind you so if you ask me a question at 8am, don’t expect a response from me until Noon  :).  Thanks for supporting our club and see you on October 15th!
 
Frank Gooding announced that former Rotarian and past president Frank Dumais’ sister in-law recently passed away.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Frank and his family at this difficult time.  A card will be circulated for Frank at next week’s meeting.
 
Wine Tasting – Only One Week away…..Actually days away by the time you read this TACK report. Ticket Sales are down from last year at this point.  Ken will be leaving town for 5 days but will be back on Wednesday.  He is seriously considering putting an ad in the Courier to get the word out and hopefully sell more tickets.  Sponsorships are up this year with one more than last year!  He mentioned that the committee is still looking for a few auction items to go on the silent auction.  The sign-up sheet has a few more slots that need some names filled in.  Set up will be between 9:00- 9:30 on Saturday morning.  It shouldn’t take long & they want to make sure there is enough time to attend Phil’s service.
 

Just before the meeting ended, Amanda Fitzgerald reminded everyone about the satellite meeting at the end of the bar on 09/25/14, at the Run of the Mill in Saco, at 5:30 p.m.
