Merry Christmas Sub-Westers,
What a week! Johnny Fayard got us started with a Christmas Groaner. Reed Eubanks led us in Prayer, followed by Harry Tuttle with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Mark Smith with the 4-Way Test.
We were hugely blessed both before and after the meeting. Before the meeting, we went to Hallmark Elementary School and gave away 18 brand new bicycles—one to every Pre-K child at the school. We did the same thing after the meeting at Yniestra Elementary School. Thanks to Community Service Chair Ronnie Arnold, Vocational Service Chair Wendy Simon, Mark Smith from Wal-Mart, Club Service Chair Mark McBride, Bike Transporter Robert Waddell and all those who came out when the bikes were delivered.
Lunch at Sub-West – $13
36 New Bicycles – $1600
Making every Kid in Preschool Smile – Priceless.
Happy Dollars were started by John Stein because he was blessed to tell a little boy the bike was his to keep. Heidi Blair had multiple dollars for a successful trip to Disney with the Long-Term Youth Exchange Students, the USO needing snacks, and for being in Rotary for 20 years. John Boivin was happy Army beat Navy. Wayne Etheredge celebrated the announcement of his 4th grandchild. Bill Spain was blessed that there was no flooding on Olive Road where his business is located. Mike Marshall is happy his boys are home from college.
Wendy Simon introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting was Randy Hamilton, guest of Ronnie Arnold; Barbara Boivin, wife of John Boivin; Kathleen Keith, guest of visiting Rotarian Lalani Bonarrigo; Ben Marshall, son of Mike Marshall; and Chris Salomon, son of Ferd Salomon III. Visiting Rotarians included Charlie Cook from Pensacola North, Jerry Maygarden from Downtown, Harold Paul from Bozeman, Montana, and Lalani Bonarrigo from Guam.
We gave a cash Christmas gift to Memory and Rachel of the Yacht Club serving staff. They do such a wonderful job taking care of us week after week.
The Woolly Booger was Bill Sheffield who loosed his cannon on the entire club. All the answers to his trivia were the same and it cost you $2.00 regardless of what your answer was. Somehow I ended up paying $5.00. I gotta get a cheaper job.
Betty Wasson had the winning ticket and drew the Ace of Diamonds from a deck with only 50 cards in it to miss a pot worth $331.
The program was Pat Crawford from WUWF and he shared his trip along the route of the Underground Railroad in a fundraiser for the radio station.
We will not meet on Dec 24th or Dec 31st. Our next meeting is Jan 7th and will be a Club Assembly.
Merry Christmas!
