Biddeford Saco Rotary Club
 
 
 
Week in Review 2/13/2019
 
 
Karen Chasse lead our club in reciting the four-way test
Joe Boyle - invocation
 
Guests:
Visiting Rotarian- Paul Smith
 
 
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.  Roland Gagne has applied.  
 
 
Our weekly meeting on to take place at the Biddeford middle school has tentatively been rescheduled for the 27th.  
 
Nominations were reported by Ken Farley: 
President elect: Don Pilon
Directors:  Heather Gendron and Conrad Welzel.  
There were no nominations reported for the position of vice president.
 
Conrad Welzel provided a recap of the Winetasting event. He estimated about 200 attendees and received excellent feedback about the event. The silent auction was also very successful.
 
 
 
Jackson won the 50/50.
 
Matt, Sargent at Arms:
Happy dollars came from Sabine who was happy that Paulette was honored by Senator Angus King, Ken was happy to be going skiing, Jeremy was happy to have attended the Super Bowl, Fausto was happy to have Karen help him raise money for the Center for grieving children, Karen enjoyed a great weekend away, and Dr Joe had an excellent workout session with his trainer and survived. Conrad is very happy the winetasting is over!
 
 
 
Fines:
Marty for posting on Facebook that he has playing hookey.
 
 
Meeting was adjourned at 1:00. 
 
 
 
Slate of Candidates for 2019-2020
 
 
 
Fellow Rotarians,
I erred in my earlier email listing Jim McAllister as a director. Jim is actually coming off of the board. As a result we have additional openings on our board. We need a replacement for Jim; are you interested in a two year term? We still need a Vice President, any takers? All is not lost you have a chance. According to our resident Esquire, Bill Kany, he conducted a detailed analysis of our by-laws. According to the by-laws, the president must ask for additional nominations at next week’s meeting. We can then close nominations and elect the slate as presented after closing the nominating.
Thanks,
Joe,
 
Fellow Rotarians,
The nominating committee put forth a slate of new officers for the 2019/2020 year. The slate was accepted to present to the membership for a vote at the next scheduled meeting, February 20th at Run of the Mill Public House. There were no other nominees and so nominating was closed. The slate of officers is as follows:
President:  Fausto Pifferrer
President Elect: Don Pilon
Vice President: open
Treasurer: Sue Gajewski
Secretary: Julie Villemaire
Past President / Board Joe Moreshead
Directors:
Heather Gendron
Conrad Welzel
Dennis Elie
CJ Cote Dubois
OPEN
 
Please try and make this meeting and cast your vote for our new slate of officers.
Thanks,
Joe
Rotary Volunteers/ Habitat for Humanity


When I spoke to your Rotary Club about our next volunteer opportunity with Habitat for Humanity, some rotarians expressed interest in knowing the date/ time of the weatherization project.  We ( Age Friendly Saco) are again teaming up with the Interact Club at Thornton Academy on Saturday, March 2nd from 9-11 in the Atrium at Thornton Academy to build window inserts for some of our low income older adults in the Saco/Biddeford/ OOB area.  We were hoping that some Rotarians might be interested in helping for this event?    We welcome any/ all assistance! Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

Jean Saunders
