Meeting Notes for May 27th

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
