PRESIDENT MARGARET HIGGINS started off the meeting by introducing new member GUY BLUMENTHAL who led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and “America the Beautiful” accompanied by KHRIS DODGE on the piano.
Today our inspiration was from JOE D. He inspired us with quotes from golf Legend Arnold Palmer.
A hardly recognizable (thanks to the hair transformation) SAA DAN KALM introduced us to our guests.
Today’s program featured our very own Past President, Past Car Show Chair and Current RCOT Foundation President CLIFF BOWMAN. He walked us through the ins and out of the RCOT Foundation vs Rotary International and everything in between. There is a lot of work that goes into our Club and Foundation. Thank you to all of you who give time and energy to making ours the BEST Rotary Club in the world!!We celebrated two birthdays today; WALLY JOHNSON who as a 16 year old was top three in tennis and in downhill skiing in his town in CO. And also a happy birthday to JO DECHATELET who is a proud momma to rescue dog Teddy.
NANCY STOCKTON introduced new member GUY BLUMENTHAL. We all look forward to meeting GUY. Welcome to the club!
CHARLOTTE HARRIS presented a Paul Harris to JOHN DUVAL’S three adorable grandchildren; Pictures were displayed of the three and we all were thrilled with the cuteness!SAA DAN KALM announced the winner of the raffle, (not the 50/50) and the winner was….the one and only BRETT STEIN, YAY!!
Now onto announcements:
PRESIDENT MARGARET shared another “Dad” joke and then introduced us to Cory Pearson who was in attendance today helping out Dorinna… I hope we made a good impression.
The Rotary office will be closed 5/2-5 /8 so do not call or email Dorinna. Hope you have a wonderful vacation!
ALAN ROGERS announced that there is a new fellowship; the Cycling Fellowship, reach out to him or LEE OLITZKY if you are interested.
Happy Jackson for NINA TRASOFF who is the reporter and co-producer for an interesting piece about why Finland is the Happiest Country produced by APM. How cool is that?
