Where's the Beef, You Ask?

Dear Reader,

 

  This will be delightfully short, inasmuch as the fake president was transported back to his glory days, and forgot to not only bring his camera, but also in all the excitement (as Clint Eastwood once famously remarked) he neglected to take notes.  So you will see on these pages a recap of our weekend at Hagan Park and some notes on our meeting.

 

We started off with Greeter Brett Schreiner being called into an important meeting, so PDG Clarence graciously stepped in as Greeter and did a fine job on such short notice with only a minimal amount of re-training.  PP Chapman opened the meeting more or less on time and asked someone to step up to lead the Pledge  (game over, memory's shot)  and then luckily fake Treasurer Jerry Smuts was able to rescue us in the absence of designated song leader Gary Spainhower.  Nice job, Jerry.

 

We all sat to chew on some marvelous Mexican enchiladas with trimmings and then we had some announcements, you know, just the usual ones.  When it came time to pick a winner in the weekly drawing, ex-Rotaract president, Sondra Wildman, drew Clarence's number, but with so many balls to fondle, the PDG got  disequilibrated and pulled out a white one, much to the dismay of his pool member who was counting in his share of the $39 to help pay off some student loans.

 

Next, it was on to the Sarge's session, manned very capably by PDG Clarence who asked for a few happy fines before asking a few embarrassing questions about Rotary (like, "Who's our District Governor?) and that was that.

 

The big guy got up and introduced our guest speaker and her two guests.  Elaine Whitefeather had spoken to us before about violence prevention for children and she outlined a project she is spearheading to buy a Rancho Cordova church to house the effort.  She is a dynamic speaker and in spite of the low turnout at the meeting she delivered.  Nicely done.  In the absence of a key to open the lectern, the fake pres apologized to the speaker for being book-less and thanked her and her two cohorts, Laurie Martinelli and Colleen Robertson, both of whom work in the area of domestic violence.  No sooner did the big guy adjourn the meeting than several Rotarians sprained their ankles in making for the door.

 

Saturday, April 15, we helped out at the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Hagan Park.  We has a good turnout and here are some pics.
