News

• The warmth of the meeting exceeded that of the cheeseburger tartare. Never have so many sent so much back to the kitchen.
• Stephanie and our speaker had no complaints about the food.
• Kevin's guest Laura Holleran and Leah's guest Maggie Smith joined us; don't know how their cheeseburgers were.
• David went back to Colombia. Our new waiter is his brother.
• Ron and President John entered the Rotary closet together, supposedly to clean it. Right.
• Leah would like all you deadbeats to know dues are due, shame. (My check's in the mail. Honest. Well, it will be.)
• As for those who haven't yet paid for the Holiday Party, shame, shame, shame!!!! (I don't have to worry about that one.)
• If you haven't yet booked your tickets and sent your check for the next performance of The Three Bald Guys in Concert, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame!!!!!!! The New York Times review said, "Mais will remind you of Pavarotti (before his diet). Overland twisted notes so badly the orchestra needed a chiropractor. Lavin looked competent to carry a tune, but looks are deceiving. A must see!"
• Our Rotary e-mail system has not been working, but Ed will fix it.
• President John shared a note of thanks we received from the Interact club.
• The Haiti project is moving along. Frank is working on a grant, possibly involving a concert by The Three Bald Guys.
• The Board of Directors meeting is Wednesday, Jan. 18 at 8. I presume that's a.m.
• Richard announced the stuffing party for the crafts show will probably be the first week of February. Entertainment by The Three Bald Guys. The Crafts Show is May 27.
• Don Boyle took his son back to Loyola and thought things were looking up for New Orleans. But then again, he also had hurricanes on Bourbon Street.
• Pre-PETS is next Saturday.

 

Speaker

Neither Stephanie nor our speaker showed. Had nothing to do with the food.
