Joe Moreshead shared an opportunity with the club. There is an upcoming trip to Romania in May as part of Rotary’s cultural exchange program. Anyone having interest, just send a Joe an email.
Our weekly meeting on 13 February was scheduled to take place at the Biddeford middle school but with the impending storm, the meeting will be held at Run of the Mill instead.
Joe Moreshead inducted two new members into the club; Reegan Hebert and Jim Labelle.
Conrad Welzel provided more details about our wine tasting event that will be held on February 9 at Duffys in Old Orchard Beach. Tickets will be $25. All tables have been sold.
The event will take place from 7 PM to 9 PMand will also include chocolate and cheese pairings, thanks to The Cheese Iron and Haven’s Candy, along with a silent auction. Any silent auction items can be dropped off at Joe’s shop or if they are small items they could be brought to the meeting and given to Heather.
We are still looking for volunteers to help setup.
The Board approved 2 $1000 requests for help with heating system upgrades. One was for a man suffering with ALS And the other for a mom with 2 kids facing a slew of medical bills.
The club also voted to fund two charitable requests; one for $150 to buy a pass to bounce zone for the child of disabled parents and the other to the Saco Bay Sunset Club to purchase 2 knee walkers for $237.98.
The date for our essay contest awards is 10 April. Location to be determined.
Conrad won the 50/50 and donated his share to Red Ribbon.
