Week's Bulletin Was Written

Valentines Day morning was greeted with heart shaped sweets on the tables and many Rotarians sporting a bit of red to celebrate the day. The invocation was given by Alexandra Kwoka, the pledge of allegiance lead by Mike Lewis, and the song of the day was led by Linda Jalving.
The raffle prize of the morning was dinner for two at Gemelli Italian Grill won by Karen Green. The winner of the auction for a book of Latin Contemporary Art was Leah Swearingen. Frank DeFrancesco fined himself for the announcement of his son’s promotion to Operations Manager of all (MGM Casinos) Las Vegas facilities. (Sounds like an auction item candidate.) Sandra Schrift celebrated her 70th birthday.
Pete McGuire welcomed many guests today. The visiting Rotarian traveling the longest distance hailed from the Zettenbergen Holland club.
