Thanks goes to Duane for planning the celebration of Ray Yurkowski's and Stafford Nimegeers' 40th anniversary with Rotary.  Let's hope many, many of us stay around so that we can someday celebrate our 40 years with Rotary too.

Nancy stood in as treasurer for Jill who holidaying in a snowless place.
Here is 80 collective years of Rotary knowledge.
Ray and Duane have a chat.
This photo makes it look like it's still in the days when women couldn't be Rotarians.
Here's Stafford with some of our archives.
Thanks to the Rotarians who helped with the city's WInterfest.  Finally there was a year when it was warm enough to be held.
The Rotary vests look great.
Which one is the clown?  Bob took in Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circus in NYC.

Next week's program is the celebration of Stafford's and Ray Yurkowski's forty years with Rotary.  You don't want to miss it!  It's in the Tatagwa Conference Room (come through main doors) and will be February 19th at noon.  Let Duane know you'r coming if he doesn't already know.

Kaedon delivered this beautiful poster to Jill's to show how happy he is to be on the Rotary Sharks hockey team.  Jill will have this at Thursday's meeting.
Deana is official ... she has her badge!
Nancy is official too!
Did you read the announcement about Alvena in this week's Review.  She can now sell farm real estate as well as her other real estate ventures.  Congratulations, Alvena!
Here Emilie is selling to Ray.  She is making wheat bags and will have them for sale to fund her Western trip.  Sign up to get yours.
She's also helping with the Comp orange/apple/cookie dough sale.


Those of us who have pens like this, usually keep them well protected as they are the best pens anywhere.  This one was left on a table at last week's meeting.  I think I know who it belongs to but I can't be sure so maybe I better keep it for myself!
A questionable Rotarian had his pocket full of queen of diamonds so that when his name was drawn for the 50/50, he could collect the $425.50.  Luckily Jill and Bob were skeptical and refused the payout.  Get your tickets each week as the odds get better and better.
