This Week's Bulletin Was Written By Jeff Christie

THIS WEEK’S MEETING

The meeting was called to order by President Jensen, who had a bit of trouble quieting down the raucus Wednesday morning crowd without a microphone.  After the audio situation was corrected, Mel Gallegos brought an insightful invocation which included a brief moment of silence for departed Doyle Dannenberg, whom Mel referred to as “the true Mr. Rotary.”  The invocation was followed by the pledge of allegiance led by Mary Engles.  The pledge was followed by a rendition of Route 66 that did not offer any “kicks” but did leave you looking for the fastest route out of the University Club.

SGT. AT ARMS

Sergeant at arms Rosalie Kramm held a slightly confusing raffle focused on this Sunday’s soon to be victory over the Baltimore Ravens.  The winners picked various options for who and how points would be scored.  Go Bolts!

GUESTS

The club had eight non-Rotarian visitors (3 of which were Rotarians by the end), one Rotaract member, and three visitors from Club 33.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Jonathan Stone and Rosalie Kramm introduced their new “Sign In or Pay” campaign.  Members will be fined $5 for the first offense, $10 for the second, and $15 for the third.  So don’t forget to sign in!

• Gary Green asked for Tee Sponsors for the upcoming golf tournament.  Those interested can contact Gary or any of the other members of the fundraiser committee.

THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM

Nancy Vaughan introduced the day’s speaker, Opthmalogist, published photographer, and Route 66 historian Dr. Blake Shaw.  Dr. Shaw just recently moved his practice from Coronado to Eastlake.  He is an accomplished photographer, having photos in such publications as National Geographic.  You can take a look at some his photography on his aptly titled website,www.blakeshawphotography.com. Dr. Shaw led us down Route 66 with his beautiful pictures, colorful stories, and an obvious passion for the old road.
