Holzer Clinic Musculoskeletal Center
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
Program Chair, Shana Booher, arranged an interesting program for this week’s Rotary meeting about Holzer Clinic’s musculoskeletal services. Our guest speaker, JT. Holland, Manager of this service, who is a Rotarian in Pt. Pleasant, provided an excellent overview of this important area in medicine. Located at the Holzer Medical Center facility in Jackson, the Center provides comprehensive medical and surgical expertise for the treatment of trauma injury as well as joint replacement, sport injury, and therapy. Members enjoyed the opportunity to ask a few questions in the Q & A. Thanks, JT and Shana for the interesting program!
Past President, Bonnie McFarland, presided over our meeting today as President Shirley was traveling. We had excellent attendance today and it was good to see everyone back. Jodie McCalla was with us via SKYPE from her temporary office in Baltimore. We need to tweak it a bit for next week, but we could see Jodie and she could see us!
Treasurer’s Moment—Shawn Siders spoke briefly about the new club bill format via email. Because all electronic communications from OVB is encrypted, you may have received Shawn’s email about your bill requiring you to log in first. If you have any difficulty with the procedure, just give Shawn a call and he’ll explain it. Most members had no difficulty in retrieving their bill.
Resignation—The club has received a letter of resignation from Rotarian Denise Shockley. Denise’s professional obligations have prevented her from taking part in club meetings and projects this past year and we want to wish Denise all the best. We will miss you!
Fellowship—Gordon Amsbary ran club fellowship for our meeting and dazzled members with some Crimean War trivia. Gordon caught up on December birthdays with Resty Alonzo, Emily Dailey, and Heather Crum, each contributed a small donation and the club sang “Happy Birthday.” I think we need some practice! Gordon spun a bit more historical trivia and then closed with a few words of wisdom.
Split-The-Pot—Shana Booher also ran our STP for the meeting today and raised our small pot to $7.00. Our lucky winner was Bonnie McFarland! Bonnie’s draw for the ‘big one’ of $134.00 came up a little short with the Three of Diamonds. She assessed the Foundation Fine against anyone ‘without a cold today’ thanks to a quick hint from Lee Bauman. Bonnie did donate the small pot back to the club for projects! Thanks, Bonnie!
