If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, March 9,2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Alan Hollenback from the Adams 12 Vantage Point Alternative Schools who gave us a very interesting program about kids at risk and how they get an education.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Oliver Grenham, our Family of Rotary Rotarian this week and promptly led us in the Pledge. Wayne 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, Alan Hollenback, and other guests: Eric Mott, and Will Cooper.

President’s Announcements:

President Mark was absent, so PE Barbara stepped in and introduced the Rotary members who gave the following announcements:

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

Oliver was extolled by President Mark 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.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

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

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
