Meeting of April 2 2013

We welcomed Larry Kurtz our guest speaker and Lisa our Youth Exchange student. Returning from vacation were Derek Price, Ken Beel and Ralph Montesanto.

Ralph announced that he was looking for two volunteers to help revise the club brand - the banner, name badges, etc. If interested please let him know. Dave Carson reminded all to pick up the rain barrel they ordered this Saturday April 6 at St. Marks between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. There will be a few extra rain barrels for sale for $50 each if you have not yet placed an order.

Bob Bell distributed more Lobster/Rib Dinner tickets and urged everyone to start selling them. Bill Armstrong continued his request for auction items for the June 1 event. Shirley Molloy gave a last call for the Paul Harris dinner next Tuesday April 9 at Copetown Woods Golf Course. That being a major club event, there will be no regular morning meeting that day.

Ralph is looking for helpers for Shredding Day May 11. Please let him know if you can do a shift. He will also be emailing a flyer to club members and asks that you resend it to you email contacts that live in the area.

Happy dollars were received from Barbara Busing who spent a joyous Easter with her 5 month old granddaughter. This was tempered by the passing of her ex mother-in-law. Dave Carson also spent the weekend with his granddaughter. Ralph returned from 10 weeks in Florida where he managed to eke out a slim golf victory over Barb.

Following Happy Dollars, Dave Carson introduced Larry Kurtz, the exchange director of Friendship Force International.
