Hello to all our new members (Mark, Charlie, Jim we missed you his week)! Harry and Fritz I hope you get my email with your new email addresses.
We kicked off today's meeting with Ted Kirchharr giving us information about the Ethics in Business Award. Please turn in your nominations to Mike Henderson, who is our Ethics Chair this year. Mike will work with you on submitting the final application.
Bill Sheffield told a true groaner, Mike Marshall lead the Rotary Prayer, Johnny Fayard lead the Pledge and Ted K lead the 4 Way Test. Justin Beck introduced guests; his dad and Steve Wilmer (guest of Johnny Fayard), and visiting Rotarians, Charlie Cook and Jeff Lewis.
The committee chairs are very busy and we heard from Ronnie Arnold with a Paint Your Heart Out project he has lined up for April, Kevin Ryan about the Boat Show, Johnny Fayard showed off the FCAT T-shirts for Hallmark Elementary, Heidi Blair told us about the dinner event, and Trisha Woodburn had thank you cards for those who have supported the Lupus Foundation.
Mac Parker was our Wooley today and fined a few people for being late, but let a few off the hook if their story was good enough. Huntley (we missed you too) would have really enjoyed it. Nice Job, Mac! Brett Parra won the raffle but failed to pick the Ace of Spades, so he didn't win the $702 pot and generously rolled in his $10 consolation prize. There are only 12 cards left in the deck now, so I expect the pot to really balloon in the next few weeks.
Connie Happney and Brad Butler from Gulf Power had a really interesting program on what they do to prepare for a hurricane, and how the work in the recovery and rebuilding phase. Good program!
Here's a snapshot of upcoming events and projects for the club:
March - Boat Show at Cordova Mall - March 20-22 (Jerold Hall)
April - Paint Your Heart Out - tentative date Sat. April 18th (Ronnie Arnold), Ethics Award due April 3 (Mike Henderson).
May - Independence Weekend (Wounded Warrior) Bike Race - May 15-17 serve a meal to 250 to 300 wounded veterans and their caregivers. Still working on the details for this one. Will use BBQ grill if possible.
Board Members - remember 3/11/09 at Rick Lambert's office at noon. Bring your own lunch.
See you soon!
Yours in Rotary Service,
Bill C.
