Happy Thoughts Barry Pett was happy to have survived the 4th of July fireworks - literally! Barry received a bad boo boo from a wild firecraker. Barry wanted to do "show and tell" and reveal his wound, but members suggested he keep his pants on! Barry thanked the Building Center and Joe Parisi for leaving his party on Rogers street to help solve some last minute crisis for the Horibles Parade. Bob Ryan was happy to be installed into the Gloucester Hall of Fame for his high school golf and football playing. Congrats to Bob. Jim Marr was happy to give Joe Parisi a check to become a Sustaining Member of the Rotary Foundation....Remember, our goal is "Every Rotarian, $100, Every Year." Thank you, Jim! David McKechnie is happy that Steve Kaity is quitting smoking for his birthday (July 14). Here is an offer you can't refuse, Steve - as long as you stay off cigaretts, you are immune to all fines while I am President. HOWEVER, Steve, if you go back to smoking I am going to expect a buck a week untill you go off cigaretts again! Do we have a deal? Mike Costello was happy to have been asked to install our club officers, and preside for the same at Manchester/Essex. Mike had the pleasure of installing his son, Chris, as the president of the Manchester/Essex Rotary Club. Greg Bover was happy to be late, not have to care.....Greg are you sure you do not want it back? John Dugger was happy to be sitting (by chance) next to a visiting Rotarian who happened to know his father. Tony Carrao was happy to have survived camping with his nieces and nephew, plus he received the Grand Prize for the best float during the Horribles Parade. Rick Doucette was happy that the bonfire went off well in Lanesville, plus he had family staying for a week.
Fines President Joe fined David Babson for dozing off during his innagural speech. Dave Stotzer paid fines for his and his dog's photo in the paper, and for feeding the meters on Main Street. Rotatrians who did not attend the club swearing in ceremony were fined today. Just a note on fines, I will not fine any Rotarian for being late, or for how they are dressed. Please try to make the meetings, late or not, wearing whatever you wear to work.
Club News Thank you to Becky Sumner for taking notes for me! I will be seeking help from my fellow Rotarians to take notes for me during our meetings. I promise I'll try not to ask you more than once! A challenge! Carroll K. Steele Insurance has put up a chalange to all club members. Carrol K. Steele Insurance will match up to $600 for a donation to the Cape Ann Synphony's Pops Concert to be held on July 31st at Stage Fort Park. Your $100 donation will turn into $200. Please, let's take advantage of Steve Dexter and match the $600 for a donation of $1200 to the Summer Pops!
Winners and Losers... Mike Costello won the beverage of choice. Jim Marr won the money, and Carole Sharoff won the flowers. No winners today in the card raffle.
Speakers.... Vice President Jim Marr presented Nicole Richon Schoel, repesenting HAWK. Nicole spoke about the good work the associations does protecting abused women. Rick Doucette introduced Dr. Brian Orr as our guest speaker. Dr. Orr spoke about an orphanage he is working with in Honduras.
Lunch Rating... Meals will be rated by 5 stars, with 5 stars being the best. Today we dined on caesar salad rollups and bread pudding. The dinners at my table gave the food 4 stars. When asked what would improve the meal the diners suggested improving the dresssing on the rollup.
