I have been told that in this issue of the Beacon I will have to tighten it up a bit since we had District Governor Savi Bhim in attendance. So if there is not a lot of my regular light-hearted humor being tossed around in this edition towards our regular Breakfast Rotary “targets”, I apologize in the name of professionalism and accurate journalism. Ahhhh, just kidding Breakfast Rotarians let the good times roll!
 
We love visitors, especially visiting rookie Presidents like Quon Louey from Rotary East. Quon is really a good guy, very friendly and a very capable president too. But when someone Wednesday morning mentioned he was there to get ideas in how to proceed with his own club’s presentation before the District Governor, I just knew that could not be true, would it? At any rate, it was great having Quon in the house!
 
We would like to recognize those celebrating anniversaries and birthdays! Shout out to Dennis Scott and his wonderful wife, Fran who was in attendance. 45 YEARS of Marriage! Blessings to you and your family. Mr. Neil Walker 40 years of marriage, but Pam was nowhere in sight. Most likely she was at home anticipating for a most fabulous gala celebration that Neal is secretly planning.
 
Karen Bonanno, Happy Birthday dedicated sister Rotarian and Craig Holland did you know you have been a member of Rotary for 17 years most of which “we” Breakfast Rotarians have been by your side the great majority of that time. We are actually proud of that Craig!
 
Special recognition goes out to, I can’t believe they called her Snaggle Tooth this morning, Connie Bensusen who qualified for her Blue Badge. Congratulations!
 
Accolades are also in order for Stephanie Baker. Stephanie was recognized as a “hard worker”, that she is, by Past President Ron “Buford” Nelms. PP Ron also reported that Breakfast Rotary was recognized during his tenure as a Gold Standard Club. Yeah, just a little plug for all of us with the District Governor present.
