Wednesday, October 15th, 2008GALLIPOLIS ROTARIANS SCOOP UP A RECORD!
President Deb Rhodes opened the first regular meeting after the big weekend where Gallipolis Rotarians scooped their way to record ice cream sales at the 38th annual Bob Evans Farm Festival. Deb recognized Festival chairman, Paul Koch, and asked him to come to the podium to announce the unofficial total. Paul had no clue about the total as he was able to take Monday as vacation. It was with great satisfaction and pride in the efforts of his fellow Gallipolis Rotarians as he announced the total three day sales of $16,494.00! That’s a lot of scooping! The assembled Rotarians rose and gave Paul and hearty ‘Standing-O’ in appreciation for his hard work in reaching this achievement! Congratulations, Paul! Gallipolis Rotarians had a special guest scooper at the festival this year, District Governor Tom Kockensparger came down to Rio Grande on Friday and helped out scooping vanilla on apple dumplings for several hours! Thanks for coming down to Gallia county and helping us out, Tom!
