Week in Review June 24, 2015

Brian Dallaire, our Webmaster, was heading to the West Coast earlier today so this week’s TACK is coming to you via Clubrunner E-mail.

 

President Ken was his usual punctual self and started the meeting off with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by Grand Old Flag.  I do have to say that our singing voices didn’t show up to today’s meeting.  Heather Gendron was put to the test as she was asked to lead the members in the 4 Way Test without a banner to reference.  As expected, she passed with flying colors!  Once again, Jim Audiffred provided a very moving invocation.

 

President-Elect Bill Kany introduced visiting Rotarians and guests.  Kerstin Kirchner was visiting from the Saco Bay Rotary Club.  She brought a box of books with her and briefly explained a new literacy project that is underway.  It will be the club’s responsibility to distribute the books to a location that is truly in need.  Terry Hutchins will be replenishing the books as we go forward.  Kerstin suggested speaking with the schools as they discard many books on a somewhat regular basis.  Other guests included Past President, Bob Begin, Ann Kany (A. William Kany’s wife), Melissa (Bill Kany’s younger sister) and Will Kany (Bill’s oldest son).  Bill’s son Andy snuck into the meeting shortly after it began.

 

 The final 50/50 ($30) of this Rotary calendar year was won by Earl “the Pearl” Goodwin.  Newer Rotarians should take note that Earl is very lucky.  Introduce yourselves to him- shake his hand.  You never know if some of that luck will rub off him and onto you!
