Club Assembly - July 5th
The Inaugural Rotary Meeting of President Terrie Prod'hon
The first meeting was well run and clearly focused on community service projects
and the money to get them done.
Being a
CPA, Terrie is well versed in
counting the numbers and she began with the upcoming budget and continued to
issue fines throughout the night to help fill the coffers. Fortunately,
Rotarians were willing to help by giving the opportunity to issue fines! Ron
Thompson was fined for talking after which he told Jeff "I told
you to shut up" but no one heard Jeff talking. Ron being a great supporter
of the Rotary, took the fine with a smile. Many other Rotarians joined Ron
in helping the club with "fines." Most for talking and coming
late.
Soon Terrie introduced the new Board and discussions were held about continuing and new projects.
Just as
Mannie was glad to pass the
Bell on, Terrie was equally concerned about the Bell's untimely disappearance.
She attempted to Hire Pat Gregor to guard the bell, even offering $100 for the
job. Unfortunately for Terrie, Pat declined the offer feeling it would be
wrong to take the money and the bell too! So he offered to "ransom"
the bell back to her for the $100 at sometime during her year.
All Rotarians left with new assignments and a renewed outlook for the future.
