THIS WEEK’S MEETING

President Ron called the meeting to order. Mitra Mujica offered words on being rekindled. Carol Jensen led the pledge and Jim Mulvaney was flying solo (sans Linda) with “America.”

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Paul Downing, President & CEO and Maureen Piwowarski of Senior Community Centers were present today to receive a donation of $5,000 from our club. The Senior Community Centers serves homeless seniors, providing meals to approximately 1300 seniors each day.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Ø      The board meeting is next Monday evening at Mighty 1090.

Ø      Our club is hosting the District Council dinner on Dec. 14. Ron needs 10-12 volunteers to help with the event.

Ø      Tony Eppert reminded us the golf event is quickly approaching and we still need players and auction items.

Ø      Gary Green has the raffle tickets for sale for the event. Expect to see him soon. Grand prize is a luxury hotel stay, dinner and a bottle of Dom.

Ø      Gary also stated that he had ‘half holes’ for sale.  Now some of us did not think that we had heard him correctly, but either way, there were no buyers.

Ø      The Meeting of the Mayors event is posted on the District website for those interested.

Ø      Mary Dawe reminded us that our club is serving lunch at the Senior Center this Saturday at the 9th & Broadway location at 11:00am. Rotary volunteers should wear their Rotary T shirts.

Ø      Bobbie Spinner-Flack will be collecting books and magazines that will be donated to various organizations. Please bring your donation to the meetings for her to collect. This is a good way to let someone else benefit from your priceless collection of National Geographic.

BLUE BADGEDOM

This was Mitra’s day as Jay Sener presented her with the much coveted Blue Badge. Good job Mitra!

Sgt-At-Arms

Ø      We had numerous ‘Bitches & Brags’ allowing Mike Gilligan to continue to rake in the money.

Ø      This week’s (last week?) winner of the football pool was Frank De Francesco. Mitra had been missing in action but was here today to collect previous winnings.

Ø      Our esteemed Patricia Cowett, who won re-election by a landslide, may now be subject to a recount after her serious misjudgment in calling for the almost missed Centennial Moment. I personally have never seen anyone so viciously pelted by linen napkins.

SPEAKERS

Nancy Vaughan introduced Jeanette Day and Ashley Hobs of the JUST IN TIME program which was formed for the purpose of helping youth in the foster care program transition to independent adulthood when reaching age eighteen.

This is a totally volunteer program that works in partnership with the child Abuse Prevention Foundation.

Ashley is in this two year program and with its financial assistance and mentoring  is attending Mesa Collage and learning Independent Living Skills (ILS).

Our club was pleased to present a $500 donation to Jeanette in support of the work that JUST IN TIME is doing.
