President Bill reminded everyone once again about the Alzheimer’s Walk on Saturday, September 19th.  Our Club has raised over $3,000.00 for the event and is on the leader board!  Bernice Wood has ordered the T-Shirts.  Cost is $9.00 for a crew neck and $10.50 for a V-neck T-shirt to be paid by member.  If you can’t walk please take the time to make a contribution if you have not done so already.  The on-line process is very easy.
 
Susan Gajewski reminded everyone that the meeting on 09/23 was going to be held at the Deep Brook Golf Course.  Golf will start at 2:30 for anyone wishing to play.  The cost is $20 per person without a cart.  To date there are 28 Rotarians signed up to attend the meeting.  If you are planning on attending the meeting portion, please let Susan know so that she can make accurate arrangements for the food.  The meeting portion will begin at 5:30 p.m.  Please arrive between 5-5:30 p.m.
 
If anyone is interested in purchasing a kayak for half-price to donate for the Auction, please contact Susan Gajewski for details.  Rotarian Kerstin Kirchner committed to buying one but there could be more available for purchase.
 
PP Ken Farley informed everyone that only 34 tickets have been sold to the upcoming Celebration of Suds at the Falls. Tickets need to be purchased in advance so please spread the word! There are 9 brewers who will be in attendance.  Ken is looking for Volunteers and a sign up sheet was circulated.  There will even be live entertainment!  The “Lower Village People”.  Ken stressed to all members to “invite” people to the event through Facebook-don’t just “Share”.  At the time of his announcement, over 1400 people had been invited.
 
We have posted the names of two candidates for new membership and if you have any comments or concerns you are asked to get in touch with a member of the board.  The candidates are: Mark Nahorney from UNE, sponsored by Ken Farley; and Heather McLean, sponsored by Karen Chasse.
 
There will be a Dictionary Committee meeting after today’s meeting.
 
SAVE THE DATE: GOVERNOR LEPAGE WILL BE SPEAKING AT OUR MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2015.
 
President Bill Thanked Don Lauzier for his hard work as the Chair of the SMHC Golf Tournament.
