Highlights from the July 17th meeting

I've seen some Rotary websites and newsletters that give brief recaps of the previous week's meeting. I kind of like the idea as a way to create a running archive of the meetings for the year. Our new blog is a good place to put this... So here it goes. I was on vacation for the July 10th meeting, but here's my recap of the July 17th meeting....

Scott Cvek invocated.
We recited the 4 Way Test after the prayer.
Charlie and Tess led some "singing".
Steve Lane did a great job introducing guests (his first time!).
Bob Hollinger found the 8 of diamonds for the 50/50. There was great rejoicing.
Susan Grubb stepped in as sheriff and fined herself and others for not wearing their namebadges.
Dennis Z spoke about the Foundation Pledge form.
Kristi Baker from Junior Achievement spoke briefly and accepted THE BIG CHECK for our $725 donation this past year.
Dave rambled about the golf tournament and told us that Beatriz will arrive from Brazil on August 14th.

Chuck outdid himself for the monthly auction - Tom Labagh's standing bid scored one of the Rotary ties, Glenn Erb the other (donated by Rodney Fink), Ken Wolfe went pretty high for the Yankees-O's bustrip outbidding Bob Hollinger (donated by Barry Acker), Jim Novinger got the t-shirt donated by Lois Herr, and 10 members bid $15 each for a veggie selection donated by Dave Halliwell. $396.50 was raised for club programs!!! What a great month!

The Program was our own Lois Herr describing her trip around the world on the Queen Victoria. It was a fascinating journey!
