Pres. Elect.; Visiting Rotarians & Guests:

Jackson Brown Introduced Guest; Bronwyn Barnett & Ray Smith, & Visiting Rotarian Dr. Joe Boyle from Ogunquit. 

 

President Lucie Kay & Dana Lane introduce New Member; Kristin Lane.

Kristen has been a CPA for 16 years is Dana’s nephew’s wife (so she is related), & is joining Dana’s CPA firm.

Lucy shared the importance of the Rotary family; working, laughing, & depending on each other. She encouraged Kristen to get involved have fun & share her ideas/thoughts with us. She also shared 2 quotes, giving Former President Bill Kany some credit (begrudgingly), that she felt represented being a Rotarian, “The simplest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intentions.” & “It is easy to make a buck it is much harder to make a difference.”.  With that Dana made it official by giving her a Rotary Pin and the ceremonial picture was taken. 

 

 

 

 

 

Jim Godbout reminded us that Tony Hoffman would be here Sept. 11-13. 

Tony is a former Elite BMX Bike Racer who at a young age became a drug addict.  Now sober for over 10 years he has been a Motivational Speaker focusing on how to avoid Substance Abuse, & how to make healthy living choices.  Tony will have just returned from the Rio Olympics where he was a BMX racing Coach. Fausto Pifferrer will help with all the travel & eating arrangements. Tony will be making 3 presentations on September 12th; Biddeford High School, & Thornton Academy where he will be speaking to students & in the evening @ Biddeford Middle School for the general public, with the hope the evening event will be well attended by our Rotary Club. So mark it on your calendars.

 

Lucie Kay reminded us that her “PARTY” is this Saturday 8/20/16 starting at 2pm. There is parking at both hers house 280-282 Hills Beach Rd, & Brian Dallaire’s house on Davis Dr.  It was noted that Brian has a Hot Tub.
