Announcements:
- We are now up to 97 children we are helping in the Adopt A Family! Wow, Rotarians!
- We are holding a Yankee Swap gift swap at next week's meeting. Please bring a wrapped gift under $25, that you think your fellow Rotarians would like (gift cards are fine if you're pressed for time). If possible, shop at a member of the Biddeford Saco Chamber of Commerce. We think this will work on Zoom, too, so please participate.
- There is no meeting on the 29th.
- We are helping staff the Salvation Army Bell Ringing at Walmart in Biddeford on Monday the 20th. If you can cover an hour, it is really appreciated. This is one of the Salvation Army's most important fundraisers, and it's fun, too. We especially need help from 9-noon and 3-6PM. If you can spare an hour to help out, please email Bill Southwick at southwick@maine.rr.com to let him know, and wear something festive, that says Rotary on it :)

Sergeant at Arms Jim Labelle notes that it is good to practice gratitude, before exacting numerous fines, and setting up Rotarian Jeopardy which was really very good. The top prize went to the contestant who could identify the Rotarian whose name includes all five vowels. The correct answer is, "who is Fausto Pifferer?". A really fun quiz, Jim -- thanks for setting it up.
See you Wednesday for the Swap!
