On a chilly Monday, January 9th, twenty (20) Rotarians, one (1) visiting Rotarian, nice to see you Sharon Spaulding, and two (2) guests, our guest speakers, enjoyed a melody of chicken, from Busa Community Farm, fish, from Potters Pond, wedding soup, left over from one of PP Don's weddings, hahaha , get it, and a variety of cold cuts, Yum, Yum!!!
Fellowship was in its normal form, as PP John was ambushed with insults, and derogatory comments, which made him feel, oh so, warm and fuzzy. He was then accosted by Bulletin General Charlie to perform this dissertation for everyone’s enjoyment and pleasure.
Pledge of Allegiance was led by “Holy Mackerel the clubs in Trouble” President elect Michele, 1st verse of America was led by Pavarotti Vail, Invocation was led by “shameful” PDG Jack, just remember, the Lord giveth, the Lord take it, for his insertion of freezing cold weather during a prayer moment. In an encore leadership role, Pavarotti Vail led the welcome song which was astonishing upbeat and pleasant. Wait, PP Bob was asleep, and PP Murray was not in attendance, now we know why the chorus was harmonious and joyful!!
Happy dollars started with PP Dan paying $5.00, don’t let your heart fall out of your shirt, for the pleasantry of PP Frank vocal cords. PP Domenic paid happy dollars, sorry I was distracted by the whining of President elect Michele, something about being tired because she works 20 hours a week, for his niece volunteer trip to Mexico, Karate expert Alan for a vacation to Las Vegas, yikes, I’m not going anyway near that one, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and PP Don, SAA, current leg breaker, for his daughter joyful news of twin boys entering the world soon, congrats grandpa!!
Fines were no existent, a small mention of fining PDG Jack for his outrageous insertion of weather during a pray full moment, but it petered out!!
Raffle gifts were sponsored by the Rotary Club of Lexington, Brookhaven, and People’s Bank, pssst…. President Susan works for them, so I have to be sensitive.
Announcements, the joint meeting with the Lions Club will be held on January 24th at the Knights of Columbus, Connie Neville has submitted her resignation, PP Domenic, and President Susan, will be swimming with the nutjobs, I mean fellow Rotarians, at the Polar Plunge on February 4th, come one, come all!! Login to President Susan's plunger page here to contribute to the cause.
Our guest speakers were Jean Hart and Cathy Keller from the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society. This is, mainly, a volunteer organization with 400 members separated by nine artist guilds, ceramics, metal working, painting & drawing, woodworking and photography to name a few. They are located at 130 Waltham Street, Lexington. This organization is open to adults, and teens, and this group coordinates various showings and workshops with the high school and the community. There are classes offered by each guild, and are open to all level of talent and experience. LACS sells various items so don’t be a stranger, visit their location and buy, buy and buy.
PP Dan should make a “contribution” to the club for his hurtful family comment regarding his sister's clay display. I believe his phrase was…..hesitation, “okay” of her skill level. Let’s see a sample of your work maestro??
Respectfully submitted, your indentured slave, PP John
