Meeting Notes 9 18 08 - John Stein - Constitution Week




Hi Folks!

Sorry I missed being with you this week, but I had to attend a business meeting in Phoenix. I understand that PE Rick Lambert did a fine job filing in for me, and it sounds like VP - John Stein did his typical fine job as the program chair. Nothing like leading from the front of the column!

I have it on good authority that the Groaner was given by Al Swann, while Ted Kirchharr led us in the Pledge to the Flag, then the 4-Way Test was lead by Bill Marchi. We only had one Visiting Rotarian (RP Doyle) - who was introduce by Bill Sheffield. The role of the Wooly was ably filled by, (who else?) John Stein - who quizzed everyone on US Constitution trivia.

Announcements:
* Sub-West Grill is finished and was on display in parking lot thanks to Jay and Ronnie. Jerold Hall told me today that he and Jay used up a bunch of drill bit this weekend, while they added the necessary cooking tables, etc. Jay, now you have to come over to my workshop - I've got a "drill doctor" we can use to sharpen them up!

* Mike Marshall announced the Shrimp Boil & Water Fun Day at Big Lagoon. Children 12 and under are now free. Mike encouraged those who are going to attend sign-up right away.

* Honor Flight will be arriving October 15th at 7:00pm. All Rotarians are encouraged to meet the vets at the airport for their return.

* Wes Nicholls wore Trish's sandwich board to sell raffle tickets--new Rotarian getting involved (initiated?).

John Stein was program speaker and talked about the events preceding our Constitution (counted as 3 US History credits at PJC).

Thanks again to Rick Lambert for running the meeting and providing me with the notes! See y'all soon! Bill C.
