Last week Representative Doug LaMalfa updated Quincy Rotary on the work of the 114th Congress. Rotarian Bob Edwards discussed the recent Loyalton Lamb Feed (spoiler alert - it ended Baaa-dly for the lambs). Rotarian David Windle explained why the Club is no longer allowed to use school property. Rotarian Gerry Hendrick was assessed a milage tax and President Little demands federal action to find his lost bell.
Rotary was honored to host 4-H for a lunch this past week and was treated to rabbit, goats and steer, oh my! We sang the Marines' Hymn. Darren Beatty, our newest member and Marine pointed out that our songbook version was over 70 years outdated, as the current Hymn mentions "air" to reflect the addition of aviation to the Corp. We also sang a hopefully error-free version of "Happy Birthday" to our supreme (bell-less) commander, David Little!
Belldo Sighting.
Belldo was spotted being put out with the trash. Does the address look familiar to anyone?
Luckily He was saved by Tim Gallagher. Not sure if they planned the matching shirts though.
Past President Jim Bequette presented a Paul Harris Fellow to Donna Wood. This award is the result of substantial support of the Rotary Foundation and is a tribute to Donna and her life's work.
Congratulations Donna!!!

On a clear spring day at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, the sky is azure, cherry blossoms and lilacs are exploding across the green landscape, and the majestic Doric columns of Angell Hall glow golden in the sunlight. This is the place that gave serial entrepreneur John W. Barfield his start.
But Barfield, 88, is not an alumnus. He didn’t have the opportunity to go to college, or even to finish high school. He grew up in a family of sharecroppers in the segregated South. In search of a better life, his family migrated north to...
