Jill was able to dine with her mother Jan who was at the meeting to accept the cheque

 for the Combo Bowlers.

Grant & Nancy could have had a romantic meal if there weren't another three dozen of us there.

Alex found beauty on each side of him.

Thanks, Michele, for all your hard work for the MSWalk.  

Jill received her Paul Harris.

Duane received his Paul Harris + 4 and spoke eloquently about why we should donate to the Paul Harris Fund.

Here's Duane's pin. We know he will wear it with pride.

Here's the group who received cheques from us plus Denis and Dale.

Our guest speaker was Keryl Lee of New Zealand.  If you weren't at the meeting, check Greg's article in The Review for the information.  She was a very interesting guest.

Thanks to the Rotarians and partners who cleaned ditches on Saturday.  I understand there was a great turnout.

There are no photos from last week's meeting as I wasn't there.  However, I did go to the Humane Society garage sale and found this treasure ...  I know we haven't given ones that look like this in quite some time.  I wonder why the recipient didn't take it out of the box and use it.

Did you know that we are giving up creating the newsletter at the end of June?  Do you want to do it?  It can be in whatever format you want.  Talk to Ray if you are interested.  Another alternative is that I can just add the extra information from the newsletter (upcoming events, meeting programs, etc.) to the weekly minutes.

Dennis checked if Nancy is recovering from her recent surgery.

Chakra spoke of the devastation in Nepal after the earthquake and we remembered those who died with a minute of silence.  Bring donations for Shelter Boxes to the next meeting and the club will match them dollar for dollar up to a total of $1000.  As well, the club has budgeted for two other Shelter Boxes and raised enough money for another one at the Dinner Theater.

Vance had a chat with guest Ken Murray.

Terry, Judi, & Deana show off their Farm Safety Day shirts.  Thanks to these three and Sara for working at it.

Christine Cooper, adult programmer at the library, was our guest speaker.

Ray presented Tom with his 25 year pin.

Thanks, thanks, thanks to the Rotarians who worked our annual Dinner Theater.  This year the students performed Footloose.

Bev was our ticket taker.

Chef Larry had explicit instructions.  He and his students did a superior job of cooking, baking, and plating.

The dishwashers were exhausted!

However, when one of the show's performers paid them a visit, they perked up.

Here Garnet displays the scrumptious desserts.

Yum!

I forgot to get a picture of the whole gang, but thanks to Diane & Don, Garnet & Barb, Vance & Kay, Pat, Gwen, June, Jill, Doug, Bev, Vic & Bob for working at it.

Sorry, I was so excited to see Myron at our meeting that I forgot to take a photo of him.  Myron, we were all glad to see you and we wish you continued recovery.

I think Tom is the last of our snowbirds to return home.  We're glad everyone had safe, fun holidays.

Evening meetings are fun because fun partners are with us.

Here's Emilie ready for her presentation.

Guests came out to hear her.

Duane, Jill may want an explanation about why all the money was wine-stained.

Who took home the recipe for these and made them the very next day?  (Actually, Emilie, they were really good.)

Alex and Vance received their 25 year pins from Ray.
