Last Meeting: Date 8/19/2015
We were all led in prayer by Bill Kehoe
The guest speaker was our new District Governor, Frank Geraghty. D.G. Frank spoke of the grants available from the district and from the Rotary Foundation.
Various clubs receive grants for many worthwhile causes globally. In Sri Lanka, schools were built with Rotary money. The Caldwell Club partners with other clubs and St. Barnabas to build and equip a medical facility in the Dominican Republic.
D.G. Frank spoke about several more including his pet project for helping homeless veterans get back on their feet. The project is called “Hope for Veterans”. They receive help with mental stress issues and everyday things like a shower, clean clothes, a meal, and housing, where they once were living on the street.
Jerry noted that the Newton Rotary Club has produced 4 District Governors.
1- Ott Klein 1947 – 1948
2- Warren Welch 1969 – 1970
3- Bill Hall 1974 - 1975
4- George Kaiser 1993 – 1994
George was present and received a nice round of applause.

Announcements:
Charles spoke about the golf outing which is Sept. 9th. This is our fundraiser dedicated to Newton Medical Center. We are all blessed to have such a fine medical facility right here. We should all buy and sell tickets for playing and/or a very fine dinner to benefit the hospital.

50/50:
D.G. Frank drew the lucky number – his! But he did not pick the Ace of Spades. D.G. Frank generously donated his winnings back to the club. Thanks Frank!
