PIN PAL STORIES

Pat B. Who wears her Rotary pin at work served a Mt. A. Student who attends Rotaract at the University and had been on exchange during                         high school.  John Murchie has lost his pin and therefore had no story.

50/50 DRAW           

      The pot is currently at $124.00                                                         

Jeff who lost his ticket but was found by Frank enabled him to pick the 5 hearts and did not win.

Dale just back from Florida and could use the extra money picked the 8 spades and did not win.

Thomas who seems to win a pick each week again missed the pot with the 4 of spades.

Stay tuned next week.

GUEST SPEAKER
Three members were inducted after Charlie reminded us how lucky we are to be a part of an organization of over 1.2 million members. Edna Boland,           Jeff MacKinnon and Becky Stewart. He brought his collection of president’s autographs and funny stories of his trips to Rotary International events.               Each new member was introduced by their sponsor and a brief bio was told.  As these members do their classification speeches, we will hear more             about them in depth.  Trish offered each new member a Rotary pin and an info package.  Each member of the club welcomed them personally after             we all recited the four way test.
