Dear Sub-West,
We had another great meeting this week! Ronnie Arnold got us started with a groaner. Bill Sheffield led us in Prayer, followed by me with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Laverne Baker with the 4-Way Test.
Thanks was given to all those who participated in the Paint Your Heart Out project last Saturday. Thanks were also given to those who came to Report Card Night at Yniestra Elementary School. Kudos to Ronnie Arnold for engineering both events.
Happy Dollars were started by Bill Cleary who was happy Dennis Lockhart was able to come to our club. Ferd Salomon III was late, but happy, to acknowledge the Blue Devil’s win. Mike Marshall’s oldest son is getting married. Bob Bothfeld had a couple friends with him at the meeting. Paul Park’s was happy to have his wife, and Honorary Rotarian, Ginny with him. Jerold Hall happily shared his daughter got all “A’s” on her report card. AG Leon Hirsh was happy to report there have been only 56 cases of Polio reported this year! AG Ted Kirchharr was happy to report that his daughter Clair had her 16th birthday this week and that today was Leon Hirsh’s 60th birthday. Arnold Babcock was happy to let everyone know that today was his last day of work (he’s a volunteer tax counselor).
IPP Bill Cleary introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting were Mary Golden and Don Freeman, guests of Bob Bothfeld; Todd St Ones, guest of Bill Sheffield; and Corinne Swann, wife of Al Swann. Visiting Rotarians included Jonathan Taylor, Richard Peterson, and AG Leon Hirsh from Pensacola North; Andy Remke and Lee Magaha from Five Flags; and Ken Woolf and Britt Landrum from Downtown.
We had no Rotarian Anniversaries to celebrate this week.
Pensacola North is having its Annual Rotary Bargain Charity Sale on April 24th from 9:00am to 1:00pm. The sale will be held at Award Masters on the corner of Pace and Palafox. Organizers are looking for donations of household items in good condition. Small items can be dropped off at Award Masters and large items (furniture, appliances, etc.) can be arranged to be picked up by calling Fran Crumpton at Gulf Coast Trade Exchange or Award Masters directly.
The Woolly Booger was PDG Wayne Etheredge who went around the room testing our knowledge of Pensacola.
Courtney Peterson had the winning ticket and drew the Seven of Clubs from a deck with only 35 cards in it to miss a pot worth $704.
The program was Dennis Lockhart, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Dennis gave us his overview of the economy and things that could impact the recovery. Dennis is a Rotarian.
Next week’s program will be Dr. Rick Harper from the Haas Center at UWF.
Be blessed or be a blessing,
Rick
