This is a reminder to sign up for the Member Social Mixer on Thursday, 11/30/17 at El Molinito located at 2323 N. Pantano. This Mixer is a Replacement Meeting for our Wednesday, 11/29/17 lunch meeting. All members and guests must sign up on our website,www.tucsonrotary.orgscroll down the left side to "Upcoming Events".

PRESIDENT CLIFF opened the meeting on time. VICKIE JACOBS offered a series of inspirational quotes and Past President ELLIE PATTERSON played the keys while ANGELA MOORE led us in the song “America the Beautiful”. DAWNE BELL introduced visiting guests and Rotarians.
Two Birthdays today: JOHN HEIMBAUGH marveled at how much this Rotary Club accomplishes, seemingly able to “punch above its weight” in pulling off the Car Show. BRUCE TUNZE fondly recalled the episode of WKRP when turkeys could fly (sadly most of us are old enough to remember that episode…)
Past President CHARLOTTE HARRIS and her mostly trusty sidekick BOB LOGAN made Paul Harris presentations to VICKIE JACOBS' son, Adam Jacobs, JO DECHATELET'S family, Amy Brandhuber, Victoria Brandhuber, and Elizabeth Brandhuber – all amazing family members well into lives of service above self.
Sergeant at Arms DALE BERG fined RALPH PHILLIPS for a great photo related to the Ride to End Polio. The announcements for today included:
The office is closed Thursday & Friday this week: Nov 23 & 24

For our Program, JEFF RONSTADT introduced his brother Fred Ronstadt - Executive Director of the North Fourth Avenue Merchants Association. Fourth Avenue was recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places with 80 contributing structures. Fourth Avenue came about more than 100 years ago when the Fourth Avenue underpass connected the area with the main commercial area of downtown Tucson. The Merchants Association sponsors numerous family oriented activities including two street fairs attended by more than 600,000 persons, and contributes more than $160,000 to support community groups of Fourth Avenue”.
Fred signed a book titled “Before We Eat, From Farm to Table” for the Make Way For Books Library.
Past President JIM LUBINSKI announced that MARGARET HIGGINS, FONDA INSLEY and BRETT STEIN would be joining the Board of Directors.
President CLIFF closed our meeting with a toast wishing us all success with our holiday diets… or something like that.
At our November 22nd lunch meeting, a membership vote took place for the three new board directors for 2018 ~ 2020. Congratulations to Margaret Higgins, Fonda Insley and Bret Stein.
