FOR THOSE ROTARIANS WHO MISSED THE MEETING ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

FOR THOSE ROTARIANS WHO MISSED THE MEETING ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

                Sharon Mensing organized, coordinated and orchestrated the presentation by our Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, (“RYLA”) students: Perri Meeks, Zava Zupin, and Young RYLA students, Macayla Scheidt and Mim Worster. Thank you Sharon and thank you RYLA Students for your respective presentations. They were entertaining and informative. You made us proud!

                Our Greeters were Ange Catterson and Julie Taulman. Our guests and visiting Rotarians were also introduced by Julie. Thank you both!

                Jenny Wall gave us our “Thought for the Day.” Thank you Jenny for telling us about your favorite book: “The Alchemist,” and how it impacted your life.

                Ellen Kendall handled “Good News” for us. One notable aspect of Good News was Cheryl Krumrie sharing her secrets for winning two Raffle prizes, (including the Grand Prize – “Be in Sanibel.”) As Cheryl was relating her good fortune; I could not help but think of that classic 1969 Rolling Stone song off their “Let it Bleed” album: “You can’t always get what you want.”

                “You can’t always get what you want (3X)...” (“Be Gourmet”)

                “But if you try sometimes, well you just might find…” (Putting two Raffle Tickets each in the “Yee Haw” and “Be in Sanibel” buckets.)

                “You get what you need…” (Cowboy boots from FM Light and more in the Yee- Haw package and a trip to Sanibel Island, Florida in the “Be in Sanibel” package.)

                Our next meeting is at the Butcherknife Brewing Company on Tuesday, September 14, 2014 at 4:00 pm.

FLOWER BARREL PICK-UP AND BAR-B-QUE

                A BIG SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU TO KATHY ELLIOTT AND GILLIAN MORRIS for organizing our flower barrel pick-up and the bar-b-que, catered by The Smokehouse – under new management. Thank you to fellow Rotarian, Mark Fitzgerald for supplying festive adult beverages from Butcherknife Brewery. We also took advantage of “left-overs” scavenged from the Barn Dance provider Central Park Liquor.

                Thank you also to all those Rotarians, Family members and friends who made light work of picking up the flower barrels before the snow flies. I am always amazed, (and I should not be) how well efficiently and quickly that project is completed!
