Present: Shawn Siders, Dave Nadler, Jodie McCalla, Margaret Evans, Emily Dailey, Cleeland Willis, Zac Fosler, Paul Koch, Lou Ellen Werry, Kevin Dennis, Mel Simon, Lee Saltzgaber, Kurt Dailey, Bonnie McFarland, Shirley Doss, Marlin Rose. Many of our regulars were out of town already for Thanksgiving!
President Lou Ellen called the meeting to order with a few announcements. She announced that our first round of Board elections will be next Tuesday, due to this week’s low numbers because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Also, we have 37 Rotarians signed up for this year’s Christmas Party, which will be held at the Ariel Theatre on December 14. Cocktails begin at 6:00 PM, with dinner following at 6:30 PM. Lou Ellen also reported that the Rotary Board approved the purchase of books for Rotary reading at schools.
Split the Pot - Rotarian Paul Koch ran STP today. The small pot was $6 & the large pot was $80. Kurt Dailey was our winner! Kurt won STP the first day he joined Rotary, and has not won since, so Congrats to Kurt!
Fellowship - We had a few happy bucks today. Congratulations to Kurt & Emily, our “Renewed” newlyweds for renewing their vows this week. Dave Nadler is now a parent to a 13 year old girl, so we shouldn’t look for him to have any fine money on hand from now on! Rotarian Jodie McCalla also announced that despite her lack of ability to get to Rotary meetings on time ($1 fine), she was promoted by OVB this week! Margaret Evans & Paul Koch also submitted a happy buck for the GAHS Madrigal Variety show for FINALLY being over for the year. (more…)
