Hi Everyone,
Thanks for VP John Stein, we really had another interesting and cultural program. Mack Parker lead us off with a Groaner about "Joe the Plumber" and enlisted the aid of Roland Smith to help out in this interactive Groaner. Nice job, Mack and Roland!
Mike Henderson then lead us in Prayer, Rick Lambert said the Pledge, and Reed Eubanks lead us in the 4 Way Test. We had tons of Happy Dollars today and it was great to hear the many reasons folks are celebrating. I think we were all touched to hear the Happy Dollar from Don Gregory, who has re-joined us after a long time with his son has had a very serious illness. Don, we are so glad to have you back and to hear that your son is doing better! I' d also like to thank Big Ferd and Bob Jacobson for making their Every Rotarian, Every Year contributions of $100 to the Rotary Foundation. Thanks for being leaders in giving!
Bill Sheffield introduced our 4 visiting Rotarians; John Blair from Crestview, and Martin Harwood, RP Doyle, and Betty Roberts all from the Downtown Club. Our only guest was Malcom Thomas - guest of Ronnie Arnold and Martin Harwood.
Heidi Blair and Laura Snow reminded us of upcoming events and service opportunities. Laura asked for volunteers to come by Hallmark Elementary to help serve the teachers lunch this coming Monday (a teacher work day). The previous blogs have detailed the schedule pretty well. Remember we'll have our Military Appreciation Luncheon on 11/3/08 at New World Landing. Bill Spain's son, Everett is going to be the guest speaker - and it should be great since he was General Petreaus' aide-de-camp in Iraq!
Special K was supposed to be our Wolly today, but didn't show up (many fines for you next week, young man!). So yours truly tried to fill in with a little University of Science, Music and Culture questioning. I know a little bit about ballet and we had a little fun with some questions I made up at the spur of the moment. At least I know when to sit down, eh?
The program was Ballet Pensacola, and we had the added fun of 2 of the actual dancers demonstrating their lifts and jumps right in front of our eyes! Very impressive! I hope ace photog, Johnny Fayard got some snaps!
Remember to check the schedule, I hope to see you at Hallmark Elementary School report card night on 10/29 and the Club Halloween Party on 10/30 at Liberty Lanes.
Until then, have fun and invite a friend to Rotary! Bill C.
