For our sing-along, the Mayor selected "It's a Grand Ol Flag" and I'm most certainly thankful that the flag is much grander than our rendition of the song.
Gail shared that she attended the memorial service for recently deceased Rotary member Bud Hawes who was a devoted Rotarian and was buried with his Paul Harris pin on his jacket. Rest in peace Bud.
Gail presented to Reverend Bob a Crocus as appreciation to which he replied, "my wife encourages my attendance by telling me to 'get out of bed, you bum!'" He also likened our meetings to a floating craps game in that one never knows where we're going to meet.
In discussing the Install dinner which will be on 6/25, Gail asked if the club would prefer $50/person and cash bar, or $75 which would include an open bar. We chose the former. Please remember that there will not be a morning meeting that day.
Rotary After Hours
Who's got an idea for RAH this month? Keep in mind, although it's Rotary AFTER HOURS, most of us have a 9 PM bedtime.
HAPPY DOLLARS
Unless the newsletter writer was asleep during the meeting, we did not do Happy Dollars.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND SUCH
We will soon be awarding four $2000 scholarships.
Guest Speakers
