Greetings Sub-West!
We had a jolly good meeting this week! Bobbye Carroll got us started with a groaner. Bill Cleary led us in Prayer, followed by Kat Davis with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Jerold Hall with the 4-Way Test.
I gave an update on Leon Starr and let everyone know he is improving. He’s not out of the woods yet, but the aggressive cancer treatment is working.
Happy Dollars were started by Bill Spain who encouraged us to remember what Memorial Day means. Moses Atwood was happy the fugitive he guaranteed bail for was caught in Georgia. Charlie Hass was happy his son was in town from California for his 10th class reunion. Mike Marshall shared his happiness to have all three of his sons home at the same time. Ed Holt celebrated his wife Cindy’s achievement of completing her master’s degree from UWF. Heidi Blair complained was happy about today being her 5th Rotary meeting this week.
Ed Holt introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting Rotarians included Dan Livingston from Pensacola North; Betty Roberts and RP Doyle from Downtown; Steven Barry from Cantonment; and Leah Daugherty from Pace.
We celebrated Rotarian Anniversaries this week with Ed Holt (26 years) and John Boivin (3 years).
Fist Full of Dollars
The Fundraising Committee has added another incentive to the fundraiser. Anyone who collects donations for 8 tickets will receive a free admission ticket to the Change of Command dinner at the Saenger Theatre. Multiples of 8 get multiple free Change of Command tickets.
So here’s the potential for the top donation collector:
Collect most donations - $300 gift card from Wal-Mart. 2nd place gets $200 and 3rd gets $100.
Beat Rick on most tickets – additional $100
If you are responsible for the winning ticket - $100 (doesn’t matter how many sold)
You collect donations for 8 tickets – 1 free admission to Change of Command ($25 value)
The Woolly Booger was Angie Neumann with Memorial day tirvia. I think we have a permanent job for her.
Bob Stone had the winning ticket and drew the two of clubs from a deck with only 29 cards in it to miss a pot worth $850.
The program was Penney Nixon-West from Etta Projects who gave us an update on the Clean Water Project we helped finance in Bolivia.
Next week’s program will be Melinda Crawford, Director of the Pensacola Airport.
Be blessed or be a blessing,
Rick

It was my great pleasure to induct TJ Edwards into Sub-West. Thanks to PP Bill Cleary for sponsoring our newest Rotarian.
Happy Dollars were started by PDG Wayne Etheredge over the joy of having 4 grandsons with the newest arriving this week. Reed Eubanks was happy about something (I wrote “93 old day”. Must be someone’s birthday). Bill Cleary was happy about TJ’s induction and his opportunity to go to the beach with his daughter. Courtney Peterson was happy to announce the arrival of his daughter on April 27th. He also added he qualified for the ballot for City Council.

Fist Full of Dollars
Leorah Mims is still in the lead with 20 tickets donations for our fundraiser. I have collected 15 donations leaving Leorah only 5 ahead of me. Of course the offer still stands that whoever collects donations for the most tickets will receive a $300 gift card from Wal-Mart and $100 from me personally. Figure the odds on whether I will be outsold and give up a hundred bucks. At any rate, please get involved and help us collect donations!
The Woolly Booger was Skip Dennis with some Memorial Day trivia.
John Boivin had the winning ticket and drew the ten of hearts from a deck with only 31 cards in it to miss a pot worth $790.
The program was attorney Kevin Doyle, Editor of the Pensacola News Journal who discussed the evolution of the newspaper industry.
Next week’s program will be Malcolm Thomas, Superintendant of Schools.
Be blessed or be a blessing,
Rick

Meeting Notes for May 6th
The Mighty Membership of Sub-West,
We had a great meeting this week! Johnny Fayard got us started with a groaner. John Stein led us in Prayer, followed by Wes Nicholls with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Roland Smith with the 4-Way Test.
It was my great pleasure to let everyone know Sub-West was awarded the District Governor’s Citation Award at the District Conference. Only around nine clubs in the district received the award.
Happy Dollars were started by me as I reported being happily married to my girlfriend Suki for 21 years. Tim Couch was happy to report his son graduated from Mississippi State and got engaged. Heidi Blair was happy to report she saw an 18 wheeler with an End Polio Now sticker on the back. Bill Spain expressed his joy on the way our community is responding to the oil spill. Jack Brown was happy to report a wonderful week spent in the mountains. John Stein is happy to be flying again after being sick for two weeks. Bill Sheffield was happy to be nice to Tim Couch. Paul Sinor was happy to report his perfect attendance for one week in a row.
Tim Couch introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting was Charles Bare, guest of Bill Sheffield; and Bud Myer, guest of Mike Woods. Visiting Rotarians included Dan Livingston from Pensacola North; and Nathan Ford from Gulf Breeze.
We celebrated Rotarian Anniversaries this week with Bill Bassett (13 years).
Quite a few people reported they had collected donations for our fundraiser. Ferd Salomon II, Bill Sheffield, John Stein, and a few others have collected donations for multiple tickets. Leorah Mims is in the lead with 20 tickets. I have collected donations for 4 tickets leaving Leorah only 16 ahead of me. Of course the offer still stands that whoever collects donations for the most tickets will receive a $300 gift card from Wal-Mart and $100 from me personally. Figure the odds on whether I will be outsold and give up a hundred bucks. At any rate, please get involved and help us collect donations!
The Woolly Booger was Bill Spain and some Rotary trivia. Most people knew the answers, but Bill did his job by making those who had never been to an International Conference pay $2.00.
Jack Brown had the winning ticket and drew the Jack of Clubs from a deck with only 32 cards in it to miss a pot worth $771.
