GUEST: No visitors today, but nice crowd in preparation for Reverse Raffle.
SONGLEADER: Song leader was our own Frank Santisi, who dedicated the song to Mitch in honor of his birthday this Friday, only to have Frank reminded that his own birthday is Saturday, only a year apart in age, you do the guessing. We sang Row, Row, Row in two parts, sounded good.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* Perfect attendance awards were given to 15 members, great going folks.
* A thank you was read from Junior Achievement for our $300. contribution to cover the materials used by Bill Johnson in the Lynn Kirk model city program, thanks Bill.
* Brian announced that we got $126. passing the hat last week to help Alli Tolich get to national championships in track, passed the hat again this week for those that missed out.
* Robin and Gary reported on Rescue Mission last Monday, help from Interact and Robin's daughter, friend.
* Brian announced the Rotary Board would meet this Wednesday at Lucianno's, 7:30 a.m., counts as a makeup.
Chuck Baker gave a Rotary minute about a club that includes a large portion of black members, including Bea Brown, made famous by Supreme Court ruling in 1954.
FELLOWSHIP: Ram Kasaganti conducted fellowship, fining those who didn't watch any of the hockey Olympic match yesterday. Mitch wanted to do a Happy Buck for his son Stephen who was part of relay teams in swimming that won second and fourth at state competition, could the Olympics be ahead? Ram took up the idea, as his granddaughter is coming to town soon.
RAFFLE: Vince Colalucca won the drawing, but not the big one. We raffled off two Big Board tickets for the Raffle, won by Tony Cebriak and Melissa Crowley. It was announced that Bob Senn had sold 22 tickets, so he got a nice round of applause, experience counts. That brings the number unsold to 5, and Gary went out after the meeting and sold 3 more, so its down to 2.......great work everyone.
NO MEETING NEXT MONDAY, March 8, in honor of the work done Saturday night at the Raffle. Setup will be Saturday noon at Maronite Center, shouldn't take long if enough help.
