President Lucie started the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed up by Nicole Carroll with the 4 Way Test.  Joe Bassett was welcomed back to the club and put right back to work with the invocation.
 
PE Jackson Brown introduced visiting Rotarians and guests.  We were visited by Rotarian Bill Ferrigno from Rhode Island.
 
President Lucie presented Fausto with a 3 year anniversary pin.
 
 
 
Announcements:
The 9th Annual BINGO fundraiser was another success.  $416 went to the Winner-Take-All game. 77 people came out to play with 6 of them being actual Rotarians.  Julie won $100 in the 2nd game.  Still waiting for some ticket money to arrive but it looks like we will net close to $3,000 this year!
 
Flags for Our Veterans Project:  Friday, May 26th – Rain or Shine – Ponchos will be available – Meet at the caretakers building on the West Street side of the cemetery at 8:00 a.m.
 
Jim Godbout needs help on Saturday, May 27th, at the Rotary house to do some old fashioned cleaning inside and planting outside.  Please let Jim know if you are able to help out.  Everything needs to be ready to go for the big event on May 31st.  Tours will be starting at 9:00 a.m.- Wear your blue Rotary shirts with black/khaki pants (or any Rotary attire you may have if you don’t have a blue shirt).  Wearing the Rotary attire will also help identify the Rotarians and keep Jeremy out of trouble.
 
 
 
The $25 50/50 pot was won by Bill Kany who donated the proceeds to the SAA fund!
