VISITING ROTARIANS & GUESTS

 

Former member Al Lotspeich showed up to make up, not knowing that it was our Christmas Party, so he called his wife to come.

 

A number of members had guests, but it wasn’t possible to get all the names, so I won’t recount any, other than to say that Val Bowlby, wife of former member Don Bowlby, deceased, came with us.

 

NEXT MEETING

 

NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.  THE NEXT MEETING is also a spouse/significant other night.  The speaker will be Congressman Wally Herger, introduced by Roy Ellis.  Invite.

 

NOTICE FOUNDATION OF ELECTIONS

 

Before the program there will be an election of a Foundation Trustee.

 

Mike Wacker and Bill Apger have been nominated to fill Dar Meyers’ 3 year term as Trustee, which expires on June 30, 2008.

CLUB BYLAWS

 

K. R. Robertson asks that you review them the propose Bylaws he passed around at the last meeting and submit your comments to him.  We will eventually discuss them.  We cannot find the Bylaws for the Club and need to adopt new ones.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

 

 

 

Dave Mulqueeney put on a great Christmas Party.  We had a Tri-Tip dinner, followed by entertainment  by “Sparkling Harmoney”, a women’s barber shop group.  Then former member Larry Bradley led the Club in singing Christmas songs.  The Silent Auction tables were overflowing and, hopefully produced a nice profit for the Club.  Thanks to all for your donations.  The rest is in the photos below:
