Club Meeting -- June 22, 2007 
 

    
As the festivities got underway, our animated President

   
had a hold on that pig as if it were the pigskin for a winning touchdown in his gridiron days.

 


Roving Ambassador Howard Fisher told us all about the City of Music,
where he visited the Rotary Club and made even more new friends.

 


Mary Benton delighted us as the Finemaster with a mission... to stump us and get the cash.
Seems our own dear Mary enjoys a wee bit of revenge, for the trials inflicted by previous quizzes.

     
She kept us on our toes, like nobody's business!


Afterwards she turned angelic again,
with a smile suggesting sweetness and light,
 and lots of hugs and kisses!

 


  
Then it was time for Dick's recounting of his year "Leading the Way" for our Club
which he clearly enjoyed way past the legal limit,


with an infectiously entertaining program, for which he gets rave reviews.

 

 

Rotary International has been open to female membership for 20 years now,


and looking around the room, it was easy to see how

      
these fine gentlemen keep the ladies coming back for more 

     
with eager anticipation for what the future has in store.


 

  
And if that's not enough to tug on your heart,
 here's the cutest little puppy, and a flowering work of art!

 

 

Club Meeting -- June 15, 2007

   
With lovely ladies in the house, President Dick Carter was sparking like lightning...

    
...and the handsome lads were worthy of knighting!

 

      
Two terrific Rotarians are Tina and R.C. -- both great contributors to our Community.

 

    
Mary wins the raffle, but not the Million Dollar Bill lurking in the basket... 
although, she's certainly worth it!

 

           
Tina introduced the program, and our speaker Arnaud Maitland.
Author of "
Living Without Regret – Human Experience in Light of Tibetan Buddhism" and many
other books as well, Arnaud was a delightful guide to Buddhist principles and their real-world applications.

 

      
From suede wingtips to epithelial toe-tips,
there was something interesting wherever the eye might wander!

 


And a wee bit of beauty smiled out yonder.

 

 

Club Meeting -- June 8, 2007


A matched set of smiles from Paulie and Bill Johns... makes a great beginning!

 

    
We were led by Dick Carter, and well informed by a Board report from R.C. Vasavada.

 
Then we were tormented with glee, by our Finemaster Dick Soule,
who strained our brains and made each of us pay.
 

 

       
The fine gentlemen of Rotary, in many thoughtful moods, were well served by

       
 the terrific program on advances in geriatric services, presented by Kathy Greco of RCMS.

      
 We thanked her heartily, and Dick presented a book donation for our children's library.

   

  
You know it's been a good meeting when the discussion
continues all the way to the parking lot at the rear,


and when Fluffy Ruffles joyfully announce that "Summer is here!"

 

 

Club Meeting -- June 1, 2007   

       
Another lively meeting, with Rotarians caught in the act of being themselves!

    

     
The dark-haired gentleman turned out to be our own Joel,
dolled up for his role as the father in "The Diary of Anne Frank."

  
Jeff toyed with us a bit, but then reached deep into his wallet, for a good cause!

 

If you're not sure who's wearing this belt, you've been gone too long, and we need you back!

 

    

Richie de Losada gave us a good education about the Segway personal transporter,
and then took us outside for a demonstration, training and "test drives."

     
It was great fun, as we each gave it a whirl with the help of Richie's personal coaching.

 

 

     
There was a spirit of fun in the air, as if we were kids playing at recess time!

     
Way cool!  What a trip!  Everyone ended up smiling...

      
...and there were even a couple of "Girls Gone Wild!"
