Meeting Notes for May 13th

Greetings Sub-West,

We had a fun meeting this week! Paul Sinor got us started with a groaner. Huntley Johnson led us in Prayer, followed by Regina Baniakas with the Pledge to our glorious Flag, and Win Boyles with the 4-Way Test.

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. John Boivin was happy to report his perfect attendance starting this week. Bill Spain was in concurrence with others on how great Pensacola is and how blessed we are to live here.

Mac Parker introduced our Visitors and Guests. Visiting Rotarians included Richard Peterson from Pensacola North; and Jeff Lewis and PDG John Tice from Downtown.

We celebrated a Rotarian Anniversary this week with Skip Dennis (27 years).

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
