Big Ferd lead us off with the Groaner, Mike Marshall lead the Prayer, Kirk Ball lead the Pledge and Wendy Simon lead the 4 Way Test. Bobbye Carroll had the best Happy Dollar as she described the soundtrack of her life, listening to AAron Copeland's Rodeo while driving her convertible Mustang with the top down on a beautiful Spring day!
Bill Sheffield introduced our 3 visiting Rotarians; Larry Graefen from St. Joe Michigan, Dan Livingston from P'cola North, and Dick Honish from Perdido Key. He also introduced our 4 guests; Dick Hahner (Mike Woods), Melissa Chapman and Kelly Comerford (Jerold Hall), and David Williamson (Mark Smith).
Jerold Hall gave us a good run-down on all the details of the boat show, then Al Swann came up to do a good old-fashioned "grumpy" Wooley, liberally fining folks for their abundant notariety!
Then we did the raffle. John Brick had the winning ticket and there were only 11 cards left for the $781 pot. I casually shuffled the deck as I walked towards John's table. John casually reached right into the middle of the fanned-out deck and pulled the Ace of Spades! Way to go John, it couldn't go to a nicer guy! Perhaps this event signalled some overall good Karma for the boat show this weekend.
Scan down and you will see pictures of the boat show - the weather was perfect, the turnout was good, Jerold Hall arranged excellent publicity in both the Pensacola News Journal and a live TV spot for me on WEAR TV 3 on Friday morning! Way to go Jerold!
Early reports show that the Captain's Party and Boat Show were a financial success. As soon as we have the final figures from John Stein, I'll let you know.
We still have more fun events to help our community:
April 18 - Ronnie Arnold will lead a Paint a House project
May 16th - we will serve lunch to wounded warriors and their caregivers. Mark your calendars for these events.
