Friends,
We had a tremendous meeting this week! Tom Johnson got us started with a groaner that gave us a new look at ducks. Bill Sheffield led us in Prayer, followed by Ferd Salomon III with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and David Williamson with the 4-Way Test.
It was my great pleasure to induct Charlie Hindman into Sub-West. Charlie’s wife pinned the Rotary Wheel on him. Thanks to Johnny Fayard for recruiting him.
Happy Dollars were started by Bill Spain who was happy we were honoring our teachers and celebrating Women in Rotary and for Rotary embracing young people in a new program designed to mentor youth ($3 dollars). John Brick was happy to share he attended the 60th reunion of his graduating class at Annapolis. Bob Jacobson happily announced his daughter is graduating from UWF in a few days. Skip Dennis shared his nephew has graduated from college and has been drafted by the Atlanta Falcons. Regina is happy her business is moving from the Blount Building to a new building she purchased on Alcaniz Street. Regina also shared Sandy Starr’s appreciation on the support she has received from Sub-West regarding her husband Leon’s cancer.
Bob Jacobson introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting was Kirk Waters, guest of Bill Sheffield. Visiting Rotarians included PDG Ron Richards, Ron’s wife Innes, Bob Rogers, and RP Doyle from Downtown; Rock Penfold from Five Flags; and Charlie Roose from Gulf Breeze.
We celebrated Rotarian Anniversaries this week with Ervin Byrd (1 year) and Mark McBride (1 year).
I sent a check to the Rotary International Foundation and ensured every Sub-Wester received a minimum $70 contribution credit making us an EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) Club. Since a contribution was made on your behalf from the Sub-West Foundation, I am respectfully asking for your help with our Fist Full of Dollars Fundraiser by taking some tickets and soliciting donations. The tickets are being offered for a donation of $50 each. The tickets come in groups of four and I’m sure, with a little effort, you can find someone to offer them to. You can be creative with the donation. Five people can put $10 each in for one ticket and divide the proceeds. Organizations can donate for tickets. People can donate for tickets and name a charity as the beneficiary. There is no Boat Show this year. You will not be encouraged to buy things from a silent auction. You will be asked to sit at the Mall over a weekend. This is our fundraiser. Please don’t be a RINO (Rotarian In Name Only). Instead, help us with the fundraiser.
The Woolly Booger was Ervin Byrd with history questions we thought we knew the answers to.
Bobbye Carroll had the winning ticket and drew the Nine of Diamonds from a deck with only 33 cards in it to miss a pot worth $745.
The program was the Teacher of the Year Awards put together by Vocational Service Chair Wendy Simon and assisted by Angie Neumann.
Next week’s program will be Steve Quinnell discussing Elder Exploitation.
Be blessed or be a blessing,
Rick
