This was the Hot Dog Picnic at Durham park, that was suppose to be with Interact, Camp Royal students and Students of the Month.  We did have 4 Interact students but no Camp Royal or Students of the Month.  President Andy opened the meeting and Jim Patterson gave the invocation.   This was President Andy’s last meeting.  As he announced at the May 1st meeting, he will be traveling to Montana to assist a former secretary of his, who is a tribal chief.  He will be her escort during a Powwow and will assist her with some projects.  He hopes to be back in time for Bill Apger to demote him on June 26th.  Therefore he turned the gavel and Bell over to President Elect, Daryl Polk.  He also gave the Grinder to Jen Liu to auction off at the next meeting.   President Andy thanked Jen Liu for cooking the hot dogs, Steve Greenwood for bringing the liquid refreshments and Dianne Farrar for mixing the salad for tonight’s event.

VISITING ROTARIANS & GUESTS

 

Jen Liu, Phil Price and Norm Larson were asked to introduce the visiting Rotarians at their tables, but they had none.  Bill Apger wandered in after having gone to the Butte Creek Country Club for the meeting.  He brought with him Mike Moran and Barry Sherwood, both of the Chico Club.  He introduced them.

 

Members were supposed to have invited their spouses or significant others, but only Cindy Price, Chris Mulqueeney, Dianne Farrar and Bonnie Pulliam were present to be introduced as guests.
