President - Elect, Don Pilon, called the meeting to order and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Joe Moreshead gave the invocation and Conrad Welzel led his fellow Rotarians in the 4-Way Test. There were no guests. Jeremy Ray won the 50/50 raffle and generously donated his $18 winnings back to the club.
Announcements:
Don Pilon reported that Sue Gajewski will not continue her service as Club Treasurer next year. Don is looking for a replacement and would like to find someone who is willing to train with Sue over the next several months. Bill Kany thought it might be fun for Don to be the first Rotarian ever to serve as BOTH President and Treasurer in the same year…
