Bill Kany

First and foremost, congratulations to all of your sons, daughters or grandkids who may have graduated from high school, college or kindergarten for that matter. Each level is a significant accomplishment and a clear reminder that time passes much too quickly. Before you know it, Lucie will be writing these columns in the Tack!

I did want to take a moment and thank everyone who did come to last week’s meeting and donated to the Foundation. I also wanted to thank all of you who may have donated directly to the Foundation during the year or who made a donation to the Club for the Foundation at some time during the year. We impressively raised $1,945.00 for the Foundation last week which the Club has matched. I will make sure that Laurie Jo submits the matches to give each of you the appropriate credit. Most importantly, however, our Club has again demonstrated its generosity and commitment to helping others while doing it in a fun way. I had no idea how that Foundation swag day would work out and I hope everyone enjoyed it.

This week we will welcome some guests from Argentina who will be hosted by Roland and Paula Gagne and James and Margo Audiffred. Please join me in thanking the Gagne’s and the Audiffred’s for stepping up. I am sure our Argentinian friends will be able to recover from their stay on the long plane ride home.

Lucie and I are off to the District Conference on Saturday. I would like to say I can’t wait but I believe the first wrung of the four way test is “Is it the truth”. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

Lucie, CJ and I attended the Saco Bay Sunset Club’s Charter night on June 2 at Dunegrass. While not a big crowd it was a nice event with a number of clubs represented. They had good attendance from their own club (one would hope so) and it seems like a good group. I believe that Lucie is planning on having a combined meeting with them on July 20th with Marge Baker, our about to be new District Governor comes for a visit. You can meet them then.

Have a great week.

Thanks

Bill

The Charitable Committee was to meet immediately following our meeting. A big thank you to the members who laid flags at our Veterans’ gravesites and thank you to Julie V. for once again organizing this event. Also thank you to the businesses that donated swag and to the members who graciously gave items for today’s raffle.

Jim G. updated us regarding the status of the house project on Main St. The actions to clear title to the property are in process and the owner in California will be served with the court documents. Discussion is underway about adding a 1 ½ car garage to the property.

Carl G. informed the club that he has a down payment for the modular home.

Red Ribbon Committee met to debrief after the Red Ribbon Week events were complete. The committee is collaborating with area high schools to implement the Tidal Waves Program which targets high school students who commit to being substance abuse free throughout their high school career, including the summer months. There is also work being done with 5^th and 6^th graders on the All Stars Program.

Next Thursday, 6/16 from 5-7 at ROTM we are co-sponsoring the business after hours with ROTM. Hope to see many of you there!

The District Conference is taking place this weekend, 6/10-6/12. Lucie and Bill are attending on Saturday and if anyone is interested in joining please let Bill know.
