Last week's Meeting Minutes - Scribe Bob Armessen
After pleasant pre-meeting drinks, and enjoying Ray and Jane’s visit, Sgt John
convened at 6:15 pm with Pres. Phil welcoming all members.
Bob’s reflection then had us all enthralled before Albert proposed a toast to the
Rotary Club of Athens, the first such club in Greece and the Balkans.
Jim called for nominations for Pride of Workmanship Awards and explained why
Anne is now his go-to snake-catcher.
He then disrupted proceedings by presenting Anzac Day items as an instant Legacy
project. Good project Jim. Pres. Phil then :
- detailed project Art For Peace … an R. I. initiative whereby youths get
involved in a school art project with prizes for artwork representing peace.
- Reminded us that the Red Shield is on May 30th at Fred Finch Park and Di is
calling for volunteers. If you can assist, please give Di a call directly..
- Advised that Dennis is on an influenza sick list and that Milan is soon
undergoing a planned procedure in hospital.
Noel then conducted the wine raffle; due to Janet’s blindness the first win went
to Jim, then Rose pulled her own ticket to take out 2nd prize. The general agreement was that both winners should be swabbed.
Prior to closing the meeting at 7:05 pm Sgt John did a short fine session
accompanied by reading out a couple of “jokes”. He didn’t take too kindly to the
suggestion that he should donate the book to the next Lifeline Big Book Fair.
Bob A.
City Council Green Team for what should be a very informative presentation.
