Sand 4 Seniors Deliveries Fulfilled

On a beautiful sunny, cold day 20 Rotarians and no visitors met for our weekly meeting.
 
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Dick Michaelson.
 
We were treated to pork loin and scallops both of which were excellent. We are so fortunate to have Patty cater our meetings.
 
PP Frank S. led the pledge, Charlie V. remembered the first word of America and PDG Jack gave the invocation.
 

 

&
  • PP Spencer gave happy dollars for his wife’s birthday (I won’t say how old she is),
  • PP Jim S. gave happy dollars in anticipation of an award for the late Dick Michaelson to be given at the Chamber of Commerce event on Jan 25th.
  • Ken W. gave happy dollars for a birthday celebration.
  • PP/Sec’y Murry thanked the club for keeping attendance figures at the 80% level. Anyone who volunteers to help with events such as Sand for Seniors, distributing Thanksgiving dinners etc. will be able to use these as make-ups in the future.
  • PP Frank S. thanked Brookhaven for the great job they did in preparing the buckets for the Sand for Seniors project. He also thanked all who participated in distributing the buckets. There are 10 buckets remaining and they will be taken to the Community Center where seniors can pick them up (provided they can lift them!).
 

Toys for Tots: we are still collecting toys; you can bring them to next week’s meeting or drop them off at Brookhaven or The Boston Sports Club. The age limit for toys is 14 years old and it is requested that 1 boy's and 1 girl's, (or gender neutral) unwrapped, toy be donated.

 
  • We will host the Lion’s Club on January 22nd.
  • Our Holiday Party is on Dec. 18th. Family and friends and employees are invited, just remember to register your guests so we can get a number for Patty. PP Dan B will be sending out the invitation, please look for it and indicate how many guest you will be bringing.
  • Pres. Lori announced that we will be taking our usual free-will donations for selected charities. This year they are Hilderbrand’s, they provide housing and help for the homeless in Cambridge and for Renewal House which provides emergency shelter for those in need.
  • Remember to use the Amazon link on our website when shopping on-line. The Club receives a percentage of such purchases which help defray the costs our internet service.
  • The Club received a letter of resignation from PP Ed Barsamian. He has closed his store here in Lexington and is working for another rug company in Newton. We wish him all the best.
 
The 50/50 raffle was won by your bulletin writer…yay!
