Week in Review 2/1/2017
Posted by Sabine McElrath on Feb 01, 2017
Pledge of Allegiance
4 Way Test led by Bronwyn Barnett
Invocation by Joe Moreshead
Jackson Brown Introduced guests:
Cassandra Mooers
Amanda Coward
Deborah Taylor
Update by Conrad on Wine Tasting:
No totals yet overall but the 50/50 earned $600 and the silent auction close to $1500. Expected to be about $3000 in ticket sales once all the money is turned in. We should have done as well as last year, if not better.
Thanks to all who volunteered and thanks to Heather for getting tablecloths.
Bernice update on TV Auction:
All items need to be in by February 24
Auction is scheduled for 26 March
Members should have received packets with info. from last year's donations. Packets and lists are in place so multiple members don't solicit from the same merchants several times.
Items are to be dropped off at Precision Screw at 30 Gooch St. or brought to the meeting (but please do not bring canoes to Run of the Mill).
Lucie announced that York County Community College held a fundraiser selling off pavers and our club bought two of them. One of them bears A.W. Kany Jr.'s name and the other bears the name of our club. She passed them around for all to see (pictures of them; not the actual stones).
Mark Nahorney informed us that he has the Rotary t-shirts and the list of all that ordered them. Please pick them up if you ordered one or he will sell them to someone else.
Roland Gagne gave an update of the refugee grant. The final movement of funds to the project is near and there is a shortfall of around $1000.
Jim Godbout gave an update on the Rotary House: the sheetrock is being taped and painted as well as the interior trim. To celebrate all the participants, club members, COT students, and the local tradespeople who donated skills and materials, Jim announced a huge party will be held at the COT on May 31st.
Red Ribbon update: The committee has launched a t-shirt design competition to kids in the OOB-Saco-Biddeford schools with prizes of $500, $250, and $100 to be awarded for the best 3 designs.
Lucie presented service awards to the following people:
Sabine McElrath - 1 year
Steve Morin - 17 years
Craig Pendleton - 2 years
Randy Forcier - 10 years
Sargent-at-arms:
Happy dollars were flying around:
Mark: City Theater won 2 awards in Broadway News
Craig: in honor of his cousin who recently passed away
Conrad: the wine tasting event is over and he is leaving government affairs at the end of June
Joe: happy to be a member of this club
Heather: sad about a recent funeral
Jeremy: lucky to have met Karen who just landed him a $50,000 grant for fancy lights
Randy: scored the beer sale event of the week days before the Super Bowl
Bronwyn: happy to pass out ballots so CBC can win a grant from Bangor Savings
Fausto: happy for help with the 50/50 at the Wine tasting
The rest of the people were fined:
Lucie: starting a minute late
Jackson: missing our song date last Wednesday
Karen: for calling Fausto greedy at the 50/50
Fausto: for parking out front (fines aren't really working on that one)
Randy: for ordering a special lunch
Bernice: for ordering a special drink
Joe: having no respect for Lucie and chatting up his table of female guests
Various: late dues
