We started by drawing a number out of a hat that we were presented by the greeters. Then, we sat at the table with the corresponding number.
PRESIDENT ELECT KURTIS DAWSON called the meeting to order and new member, AMY MORIN, led the Pledge and Song, “You’re a Grand Ole Flag.”
PRESIDENT ELECT KURTIS announced that fellow Rotarian and former Mayor of Sierra Vista, Rick Mueller passed away on 5/29. He also noted that Stephanie has been helping Dorinna in administration and to say hello to her.
MITCH PISIK offered the Inspiration. He noted that indeed we cannot have it all. But, we can have what is a priority to us and what we control. We’re close to having it all as Rotarians. What is “all?”
BRITTANY BATTLE, who is stepping in as SAA for the vacationing Dan Kalm, introduced our visiting Rotarians and guests. Next, we started into the business portion of the lunch.
PETER BEAHAN was celebrating his birthday and 11th in the Rotary Club of Tucson. He’s glad that he gets to be the accountant for the Car Show. GARY OLSEN was celebrating his birthday and 7 years in Rotary. Good thoughts, good words and good deeds comes to mind when thinking of GARY. DARRELL STEWART was celebrating his 75th birthday and let us know that he was also celebrating 365 days of sobriety…but not consecutive days. MITCH PISIK celebrated his birthday and noted that of 8.1 billion people in the world, 225 are the most memorable and they are the members of the Rotary Club of Tucson.
DOT KRET introduced a new Family Member to our club. DAVID LEX is her son and will be joining us. DAVID is the COO of DK Advocates and is also a great photographer. JOE DANISZEWSKI introduced ou
r newest member, AMY MORIN. Professionally, AMY is a Business Coach with THRIV Coaching. She also likes to fly fish in her off time.
STEVE PICKERING awarded a blue badge to GUY BLUMENTHAL. They were brief, bright and gone quickly.
BRITTANY BATTLE held the raffle and JIM MURPHY won the winning ticket and over $100. He didn’t win the jackpot that has a value of almost $1,000 however.
KURTIS DAWSON reminded us to check the weekly email “Tucsotarian” for all of the events happening in our club. He also reminded us to sign up for the Change of Administration party that will take place on June 29
th at the Omni Hotel.
Our program came at the end of the meeting this time and it was FUN! We were asked and answered 4 questions. Each person at the table had two minutes per question to offer their answers. The questions were:
- State your Name, Occupation and how long you have been a member of RCOT. Tell us about your family.
- What are you looking forward to this summer?
- What person in your life has had the greatest impact, or changed the direction of your life?
- What was your favorite Rotary experience this year?
It was a really great way to get to know our fellow Rotarians a bit better. We did not sign a book this week
.
PRESIDENT ELECT KURTIS closed the meeting; MITCH PISIK offered the toast and we were adjourned.
