If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, May 18, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Gail Sawchuck from the Usborne Foundation who gave us an update about literacy.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Lynn Hoffman, this week’s Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Caitlin presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guest speaker, Gail Sawchuk, Scholarship winners Katie Quintana, Lauren Quintana, Brenda Lynch, Noah Kanary, Ariel Clinton, Kayla Schacher and Mae Street. Other guests included Pat Quintana and Monte Quintana.

Barbara stunned the club with the announcement that the Melonakis Roast raised $66,458 net, for CASA and the 7:10 Club. Gross sales were $81,865.

Barbara confirmed the email request for votes for our members to go back to The Ranch when it opens. All of them have been in the affirmative.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day. The things we overlook every day can be part of the seven wonders of the world.

We closed the meeting right on time with a rousing rending of The Four (no, Five) Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
