A sunny day for a Rotary meeting and Pres Judy opened this one to 13 members and 2 guests. Rotarian Grace Wagner from Sherwood Park joined us as did Kendi Clearwater as a guest of Donelda. This was a business meeting given the several fundraising events looming in the next few weeks and maybe explains the absenteeism!
Pres Judy announced that we are within a nudge of meeting the Club goal of $2500 for Foundation donations by members....likely would be there this week so well done everyone! Also, it is Trevor Leigh's birthday!
First up for discussion was the Cactus Jalopy event on June 6th in which Rotary will be serving breakfast to an expected 300 visitors until 11:00 am and then serving beer/wine until sometime in the evening. Volunteers for serving the breakfast looks good but a few more for pre-cooking the bacon on Friday and then later on Saturday in the Beer Garden would help. Please let Vaughn know if you or friends are available...the more the merrier!
Next up was the Golf Tournament on June 13. Brian pointed out that this is our largest fundraising budget item and we are at risk in supporting all of our worthy causes if we fall short so we are in the stretch run now. Refer silent and live action items to Brian but the focus is going to be on attracting golfers over the next two weeks so put your sales face on and let Doug know when and who you can add to the list. Still need more volunteers to help during the day of the tournament so let Doug know those as well.
Carol Youngberg dropped in on the meeting to promote the Desert Park fundraiser this Saturday at the Watermark...an evening of dinner, wine, auctions and horse racing! She has 20 tickets left.
The Rotarian magazine is out this week and a good read. A reminder to bring it to any noon meeting when done for redistribution by Pres Judy.
The speaker next week is Mike Safek, Principal of OSS.
Bill won the 50/50 and redistributed that to Roger's Honduran project.
Have a great weekend everyone!
