President Bill Kany led us in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the 4-way test led by Ray Demers and Past District Governor Ron Drouin gave the invocation.  President-Elect Lucie Kay and Vice President Jackson Brown were both MIA so President Bill introduced visiting guests Sabine McElrath, Don Pillon, Jane Foley, Lori MacDonald and Assistant District Governor Claudia Frost (who is also our speaker).  The 50/50 was won by Jim Godbout who donated 100% of it to the Red Ribbon Committee Fund.
 
Reminder!  No Meeting – There will be no meeting on December 30th!
 
Thank You! – Bill wanted to do a special thanks to the following Rotarians this week:
  • Jim Godbout for convincing his wife Lynn and her friends to help decorate the Rotary Tree for the Dyer Library Festival of Trees.
  • Lucie, Bernice, Paul, Julie for coordinating the holiday wrapping this year.  Delivery will be 9-11am on December 23.  We will meet at YCFCU in Biddeford.
  • PDG Ron Drouin for coming to visit us again!
  • Pierre Giroux, Chris “The Animal” Indorf, Jim Audiffred and Jim Godbout for their work on demolition of the Rotary House this week.
  • Jackson Brown for getting a head start in kicking off the Auction with our first meeting.  The official kick-off meeting will be January 20 with packets coming sooner if you are able to solicit prior to the kick-off.
 
New Rotarian – Welcome to Conrad Weizel from the Turnpike Authority who was inducted today.  He was sponsored by Jim Godbout and President Bill read the funniest speech incorporating many puns about tolls, highway, etc.
