I'm happy to say we have a good find in new member Sally Selby. Yes, another new member induction. Pat Thompson, as our astute Membership Director once again had to take to the podium to share all the “goods” on Sally. Proposed by President Cheryl, Sally comes with quite a “RAP Sheet” of experience. We look forward to meeting Sally and sharing the joy that Rotary membership brings to others. Congratulations! Service Above Self.
 
While on the topic of “Newbies” Heath Niemeyer received his Blue Badge. Atta Boy Heath!
 
Let’s get back to the real reason the Past DG came to visit us. We won another award!!! Yeah! Immediate Past District Governor Sandi Schwartz presented to Past President Ron Nelms a Rotary International Citation for Public Image. Of the 72 clubs in our district 35 were awarded. Great job Ronnie and membership!
 
Karen Bonanno reports that we are at the $9000 pledge mark for Wine, Place and Show with a whole lot more to go to reach our monetary goal. We are getting close to show time, so get out there and get those sponsorships. Past President Denise Haynes and Karen are soliciting - no not what you think crime fighters - they are soliciting prizes for Wine, Place and Show (WPS). They requested members to donate wine for the “Stable Doors” contest. This is a big financial supplement during WPS. Let’s grab a bottle, or two of $20 or more value wines and contribute. See Karen, Denise or Teresa Ramos.
 
All cars be on the lookout for Queen Jackie’s Past President’s Badge. Oh my! We found it and she got it…finally!
