If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, September 28, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Wynn Walent about what St. Luke’s Foundation is doing in Haiti.

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Randy Stutz, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Chris presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Barbara, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guest speaker, Wynn Walent, and guest: Yolanda, our Area Assistant Governor.

President’s Announcements:

Barbara asked us to let her know if there are compliments or complaints about our meetings at The Ranch Country Club.

Barbara complimented Ed Moss about the new centerpieces on each table. These are banners from our extensive collection which are now graphically represented on each table.

Other Announcements:

Brian gave us an update about Kevin Massey who is back in the hospital. He had surgery and is recovering nicely.

Barbara passed around the signup sheet for the upcoming CASA luncheon on October 20th. Please call her for more information.

Adrian gave us an update about the Beer Fest. We had less attendance but income was over last year. $8,094 in profit, thanks to everyone who helped put this together.

Martin gave us a recap about the start of the Arch Klumph 100th anniversary RI Presidency.

Brian updated us about our social activities. There are a number of them, so signup soon and often. Our Holiday party will be at the Stratton residence on December 2nd at their home.

Chris, our Sgt. at Arms this week, made some sizable extractions from the very energetic Rotarians who actually attended the meeting.

Randy was extolled by President Barbara who thanked him for being an important member of the 7:10 Rotary Club and who has shown us the Service Above Self motto. His prolific profile as the Family of Rotary Rotarian can be found on the front page of the Bemis award winning, Frameable, Ineluctable, EarlyWord newsletter which was profusely available on all of the tables in its elegant 11x17" format. It can also be found on the 7:10 web site at: www.westminster710rotary.org/newsletter.cfm.

President Barbara presented our next Rotary member who answered the question, Why I’m A Rotarian. Randy gave a moving talk about what Rotary means to him.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

We closed the meeting about 5 minutes early with a rousing rending of The Four Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
