President CHUCK SAWYER called the meeting to order right on time.
PAT ZUMBUSCH gave us several inspiration quotes (which will turn out to be a major theme for the meeting). This mystery editor’s favorite, on leadership, was; ‘You should be much more afraid of a pack of sheep being led by a lion, then a pack of lions being led by a sheep’.
President CHUCK asked for moment of silence to remember the passing of MIKE ANDERSON’s Mother, DON ROLLINGS’ Father, and GEORGE KRUAJA’s wife.
DARRELL STEWART led us in a riveting version of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ accompanied by GARY HIRSCH on the piano.
New member BROOKE FAWCETT introduced our visiting Rotarians and Guests.
Happy Birthday to returning new member JOE DANISZEWSKI, who brought us our second memorable quote of the day, about aging: ‘How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?’
A raffle was held and U of A Basketball tickets were auctioned off.
ASHLEY ELAINE YORK introduced two new members:
BROOKE FAWCETT who appeared at the microphone for the second time today and left us with a third memorable quote, ‘The reward for work well 
done is the opportunity to do more’.
ASHLEY also introduced RICHARD KELEMAN, who contrary to his current fitness level was a pole vaulter in high school. Welcome to the club BROOKE and RICHARD.
CLIFF BOWMAN presented Paul Harris Fellowships to four deserving rotarians: NANCY PURDIN, KATHLEEN WICKS, JASON GRABOSCH, and DOT KRET. Of course, only one of these four has children that attend a certain local popular (among some Rotarians) high school that shall remain nameless.
Announcements were made by President CHUCK, ELLIE PATTERSON, CLIFF BOWMAN, CHARLOTTE HARRIS, ROBERT O’BRIEN and BRUCE RICHARDSON. Not surprisingly, that same local high school mentioned above was again a featured part of several announcements. .jpg)
MARK IRVIN introduced our speaker, Ted Maxwell from the Southern Arizona Leadership Council. The SALC was founded in 1997 and has a primary goal of improving the Tucson community through development of effective public policy.
President CHUCK gave the toast and adjourned the meeting a little early.
