Minutes of the 06/15/2016 Meeting
Our weekly Newton Rotary Meeting opened with President Jerry leading our Pledge to the Flag and Country. A somber but beautiful and thoughtful pray dedicated to the lives lost this week in a mass shooting in Florida given by Jerry Hanifan. After was an equally somber God Bless America.
Guests:
We welcomed President Jerry’s wife, Lonnie and daughter, Liza.
SUNSHINE:
President Jerry asked literally and figuratively, what are the answers?
1- I have no voice, yet I speak to you. I tell of all things in the world that people do. I have leaves, but am not a tree. I have a spine and hinges, but I am not a man or a door. I have told you all. I cannot tell you more. What am I?
2- What do you break when you say its name?
(Answers are at bottom of Newsletter)

PROGRAM:
Our program was Qaasim Munoz of the Garden of Life Yoga Center. He spoke of the studies and health benefits of Tunia, Chinese medicine and Qi Gong. They practice the
Chinese art of massage, working the body to correct flow and movement to help medical conditions like high blood pressure, aches and pains, and BM’s.
Happy Dollars $ generously given by:
- Dewey is happy that his wife Dotty’s birthday is the same day as the Garden Party. They thank us all for planning a big party! LOL
- Denise is happy and proud of Margo, who graduated, Valedictorian Masters Program.
- Liza was happy that Wyatt lost another baby tooth.
- President Jerry was happy his family joined us today and that Wyatt hit his first home run and drove in 2 that were on base (almost a grand slam). (It cost Pres. Jerry a $20 bill.)
Picture Fine:
Fine went to Carl Lazzaro who had a couple of pictures in Township Journal-Fredon Day, of him with Scott Garrett. He seems to want Pam to pay us picture fines. (I wonder why?)
