Meeting of April 23, 2013

Sergeant at Arms Bill started the announcements and happy dollars with a congratulations to David and Sue Lowery who recently celebrated their 47th anniversary. He reminded all those involved with the fireworks in the Driving Park of the meeting this Thursday April 25, 6:00 PM at Ken Beel's house.

Dave Carson asked for helpers this Saturday April 27 to prepare the community garden for spring planting. Bring a wheel barrow if you can and be there between 8:30 and noon. Dave also informed us that he is now on the board of Environment Hamilton.

President Joe displayed a club banner he received from Bob Morrow during Bob's visit to the Rotary Club of Dr. Philips in Florida. Joe also asked members to put June 9 on their calendars. This is the awards dinner and district governor change over at Salvatore's Restaurant in Depew NY. Our own Kevin Crouse who was a member until a couple years ago will be the new DG. Our club will also be receiving several awards. Joe also told us he is the proud owner of a 41 foot long RV.

You might want to give Harold's wife Julienne a call. She is in the hospital after receiving a new knee on Monday April 22. Wayne Massey was happy that he found a house for his daughter who can now move out once again. Bob Bell came clean, saying he left his name badge at home.

Jessica Brennan was happy to have helped with the ground breaking ceremony for the new play ground and community resource at Dundas Central School. Paul Clifford was also at the ceremony and was happy to talk with Adam Bienenstock who is the designer of the project and an old friend of Paul. You might recall that Adam spoke to the club several months ago about the project that club member Stephen Palmer is leading.

Following happy dollars, Dave Carson introduced today's program on Earth Day and The Story of Stuff.
