BULLETIN FOR MEETING OF 4/01/10
THE FIRST DAY IN APRIL AND A TREND FOR 10
1Is this the Trend for 2010. PAST PRESIDENT Steve Varvis was in control, something we hven’t had for some time - our leader in control. In case anyone is interested ——
The 11:30 club is a House of Friendship and Sharing. The development of our Rotary Family is abundantly clear as we join in force for this most pleasant task. Those in attendance were: Roger Anderson, Charles Small, Ted Marsella, Dave Reuland, Jerry Dale, Scott Shewan, Paul Chin and his guest Cindy, The Right Honorable Lou Smaldino was absent hence the trend for 10, Tom Graves, Janet Powell (the soon-to-be), Stan Whaley, Kevin Oflazian, Charlie Wadhams and Katie Siemens. You see folks this is the ever pleasant place where everyone knows your name. Three things cross my mind: 1) if you have seen this before that means you read the bulletin. 2) If you can read this thank a teacher. 3) If you cannot read this blame the teachers union. AND AS YOU READ THIS KNOW THAT THE FELLOWSHIP OF ROTARY IS ALIVE AND WELL AT THE 11:30 CLUB. Y’ALL COME NOW! YA HEAR.
