This Week's Meeting

Reports have it that Christine Thompson led the pledge, Hugh Largey delivered an invocation and Jim Mulvaney led us in a patriotic song.  Got to get to the meeting earlier!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Ø      Rotaract’s La Noche is 6-9 pm on October 11th at Martini Ranch, 528 “F” Street, Downtown. 

Ø      Gary Green reports over $5,500 raised so far for the relief efforts, including $500 from the Erbetta family (thanks, in part, to the Mass. Lottery).  We hit our goal of an average of $60/member.

Ø      For obvious reasons, all Navy VIP programs have been canceled and will be rescheduled as world events allow.  Our members have graciously donated their embarkment fees to the morale fund of the various ships involved.

Ø      The Rotary Foundation Paul Harris Dinner is coming up on November 2nd at the Hotel Del.  If you haven’t already signed up, contact Melissa or Colette.

Ø      Please bring children’s books (both Spanish and English) and school supplies to our next meeting for distribution to the Kids at Heart program.

SGT-AT-ARMS

Rather quiet today, other than to announce Mike Whitehurst’s 18th anniversary and Jim Mulvaney’s 2nd or 3rd in August or September or ….  Also, welcome back to Carol Jensen who has come back strong from serious foot surgery.  She was spotted in the AIDS walk!

This Week’s SPeaker

How better to express frustration with our tax laws than to note that the massive overhaul of the tax code passed this last summer will completely expire and revert back to the status quo in ten years!  I guess it is now and will always be a work in progress (albeit a rather twisted use of that particular word).  The best approach was from Snoopy who simply wrote to the IRS and asked to be removed from its mailing list.  Ah, if it were only so simple.  My personal favorite is the tax return with only 2 lines.  1. How much did you make?  2. Send it in.

Thank you, Cliff Schechter, for giving us your analysis of the latest and greatest from the IRS.  For more information on Cliff, Click Here.
