Gallipolitan for September 1, 2009
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009Countdown to BEF Festival—I realize it may be a bit dramatic (that’s me!) but the Farm Festival will be upon us before we know it. So, for this week and the next few weeks, here’s a countdown to festival week:
**TIME TO BEF FESTIVAL—6 WEEKS!!! **
Sergeant-of-Arms Kurt Dailey summoned the call for the meeting of the Gallipolis Rotary club to order. President Bonnie McFarland answered that call bringing the meeting to order. ADG Matt Willis gave the invocation. Paul Koch provided the Foundation Minute reminding Rotarians the power of Rotary in providing more scholarships than the Fulbright organization. We had a guest today, Andrea Gannaway, President of the Junior Women’s Club. Welcome, Andrea!
Shawn receives Blue Badge—
President Bonnie asked ADG Matt Willis to present Rotarian Shawn Siders his Rotary Blue Badge. Shawn recently completed all the requirements to move to the permanent badge. President Bonnie called on the remaining Red Badge holders to complete the requirements as soon as possible.
