Meeting Notes 5 29 09 - Fiesta of Five Flags

Fiesta Days are here! Mac Parker got the meeting rolling with a good Groaner, Paul Parks lead us in the prayer, Jerold Hall lead the Pledge and Wes Nicholls lead us in the 4 Way test.

After a round of Happy Dollars (notably welcoming Past president Sip Dennis back form his hiatus), Brett Parra introduced our visitors and guests. We had 3 visiting Rotarians - Nancy Fetterman from Downtown, Charlie Cook from Pensacola North, and Stephanie O'Connor from Gulf Breeze. We also had 3 guests, Reed Eubanks brought his grandson, Taylor, Don Gregory brought Rick Lehman (son of the late Don Lehman), and Jerold Hall brought Kristen Fairchild from Chain Reaction.

Skip Dennis was our Woolly today, soliciting many dollars for the Rotary Foundation!

Young Taylor Eubanks won the raffle, but was disappointed since he didn't pick the ace of spades, so the pot continues to grow!

John Stein then introduced our guest speaker - Ms. Laura Hill, Executive Director of the Five Flags Association, who put on our signature Fiesta events in Pensacola. She spoke about all the upcoming festivities including the arrival of the Spanish tall ship, El Cano in a few days (can't wait)!


Yours in Rotary Service,
BILL
