(Luckily, his wife sometimes edits the Rotator online and can catch these things. I assume he will be fined accordingly, Jim Marr, President-elect? Thanks, I know you'll take care of it, you were there for me last year when he forgot my birthday. Joan)

Howard Frisch was happy to have had tickets to last Saturday's Red Sox game.  Howard was also happy that the Pancake Breakfast netted $4476.00, up from last year's total.

    Club News

Thank You   Catherine Henry for taking Notes for the Rotator this week!

      Club members were out in force for Herb Goodick's Memorial Service this past Saturday.  The club formed an honor guard for the many attendees entering the church for  the service.  Jim Marr did an exceptional job eulogizing Herb as the friend and fellow Rotarian we all knew.  The board will decide at our next meeting how to properly memorialize Herb.  Rest in peace, fellow Rotarian Herb Goodick.
