Meeting Notes for March 4th

Greetings Sub-Westers,

We had another great day at Sub-West! Bill Sheffield got us started with a groaner derived from newspaper clippings. PP Jerold Hall led us in Prayer, followed by Jane White with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Mark Smith with the 4-Way Test.

Happy Dollars were started by Jerold Hall and his tribute to Kenny Morgan making another attempt to use video in a presentation. Mike Marshall shared his youngest son has made Eagle Scout. Bill Spain was happy to see the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) being held at PJC. Bill Cleary was happy Sub-West is so much fun compared to other club he’s visited. Bill continued his happiness over Sub-West’s contributions from his requests for Big Brothers & Big Sisters, and that he saw Kirk Ball at church recently. It was a lot, but he did give $5.00. PDG Wayne Etheredge concurred with Bill that Sub-West is the best club. And Bill Sheffield was happy Tennessee beat somebody! Kentucky at Basketball.

Ronnie Arnold introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visitors included his own guest, Nick Edwards; Charlie Hindman, guest of Johnny Fayard; Sonya Rutledge, and Jon & Koyoko McCarver, Guests of Bill Sheffield. Visiting Rotarians included most of the Downtown Club with Terry Scruggs, R.P. Doyle, Jeff Lewis, and Terry Terrell.

We celebrated Rotarian Anniversaries with Bob Jacobson (4 years) and Jane White (4 years).

The Woolly Booger was John Boivin who started by fining anyone without a symbol of Rotary $5.00. A warning for next week? John continued on with a geography quiz that accomplished its purpose of raising money for the RI Foundation.

Kirk Ball had the winning ticket and drew the Three of Clubs from a deck with only 41 cards in it to miss a pot worth $561.

The program was former Sub-West member and Past President Kenny Morgan with a presentation on AC-130 Specter Gunships.

Next week’s program will be Phillip Howell to discuss Amendment 4 on this fall’s ballot.

Be blessed or be a blessing,

Rick
