Announcements 7/22/2015

Raffle Committee, Interact and Charitable Committees are meeting today after Club meeting.                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

Sue gave update on August 2 party at Jim McAllister’s house.  Twelve people signed up and she passed the sheet around for others to sign up if they haven’t already.  She asked that everyone bring either an appetizer or salad.  It’s a BYOB and a great way to get to know each other on a personal level. I’m in!                                                                                                                                                                 

 

Lucie sent this email: On September 19 the Alzheimer’s Association is hosting a Walk to END Alzheimer’s locally in York Beach. The two mile walk begins at the York Beach Ball Field at 9:30 AM that morning. We have created a team (Biddeford & Saco Rotary Club) for all Rotarians who would like to join us. We are requesting that each person who signs up pledges to raise at least $100 for the cause. To sign up to be a part of the walk visit our team website, or contact Lucie Kay directly so she can sign you up. She also said she is getting t-shirts for the event and possibly getting matching fund of $500.  She will be putting a basket at the registration desk in August to raise money for the walk.  There is no sign-up fee.  Sarah Neault mentioned that Maine keeps a portion of the money raised (she didn’t come prepared with how much, but will get back to us).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Bill mentioned on Sept. 23 there is a Golf Outing at Deep Brook @2:30.  After playing 9 holes (to be set up as a scramble), the Club will have meeting in evening.  Trying to get Billy Guay to join us and come back to Club.  I’ll see if I can work my charm.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Bill wanted to thank Jackson Brown for showing up.  He also thanked everyone that attended the District Governor’s reception last week.  Saco Bay thanked us also.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The Club Board of Directors is going out tonight on a boat to discuss business – right? [Sounds like another one of those “makeup meetings”]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Reminder that Ron Gagnon has resigned and Board is looking for anyone interested in filling his seat.  This is a two year term. A couple members have expressed interest so far.

 

The Club received two thank you notes from Mike Tremblay for receiving the Rotary Public Sector Award and from Payton for receiving a UNE scholarship. 

 

A mention was made for Bernice Wood and one of our other members for making into the local paper.  Paul Deschambault will be sending an email with more information on the International Projects so the group can decide which ones to get involved in.  There is a meeting on Monday at 7:30AM for 1 hour at the World Community Center, 45 Granite St., Biddeford.
