President Bill promptly started the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance.  Steven Morin led everyone in the 4 Way Test. Joe Bassett provided the invocation, and the Club took a moment of silence to remember the victims and families of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the eve of the 14th anniversary of that tragic day in our country’s history.  Lucie visiting Rotarians, from the Saco Bay Club, Kerstin Kirchner and Elaine Fournier.  There were no guests in attendance today.  Rotarian, Kerstin Kirchner announced that she has between 2,000 and 3,000 books in the back of her pickup truck that will be donated to the YMCA. 
 
Next up were today’s SAA’s Joe Moreshead and Denis Elie trying their best to add to the budget with happy dollars and fines.  Denis was happy that his son, Evan’s team won their first two football games; Frank Gooding was happy that he survived the weekend with his grandchildren and he was fined for being the last in; Matt Simmons was happy that his son’s travel hockey team won its first game and that his son scored his 1st goal; visiting Rotarian, Kerstin paid $1.00 to share that she is leaving the Saco Bay club because she is moving to Wells; Steve Morin is oddly happy that his youngest daughter is now 21; Lucie was happy that her granddaughter started her first day of preschool; Ken is happy that he won’t be here next week to hear Governor LePage speak since he’ll be in Florida for work… NOTE: any story worth telling is worth embellishing!!!  Fines were as follows: Peggy Bean for chuckling when President Kany announced next week’s guest speaker.  A very reliable source confirms that it wasn’t her that snickered!!  Bernice for not keeping President Kany adequately informed concerning today’s speaker and for the love/hate relationship the two share; Jeremy Ray for sending his son to school in Saco and putting his kindergartener on the bus; Steve Morin for reciting the 4-way test verbatim.
