Newton Rotary Newsletter

The meeting was called to order by Alice at 12:15.  The prayer was led by Alice and I have no idea who led the song, but it was O’ Beautiful.

Happy Dollars:

  • John went to the Metropolitan Opera last week and sat in Box 6.  He said it was great and talked about a lot of music stuff that I’m not smart or cultured enough to recount
  • Jim went to the Broadway show A Beautiful Life about Neil Diamond
  • Carolyn was happy her husband was a semi-finalist in the national squash tournament for 65 plus last week
  • Wayne was re-elected as president of the county historical society for the 11th year
  • Denise attended a meeting in Selbyville Del. last week
  • Bud is headed to Dallas to see family and is celebrating 51st anniversary

Guest:

Dora is a guest, but she is also the acting greeter, so she has to greet herself!

Bill Houghton passed away

 

Program:

  • We discussed future of the fair booth.  We might have to give it back to the fair grounds
  • Steve and Jim are running it this year, but a lot of work.  We need younger members to step up
  • 152 shifts and about 30 able members
  • Maybe simplify menu
  • Bob and Mike offered the scouts to run the booth for 3 days.  Will share profits those days, will be worked out
  • We make 10 to 15K a year – sense that its not worth it, other ways to earn money
  • Carl did a ton of work.  We opened a sisco account for food
  • Maybe we can partner with other groups
  • More to come on this….

Other information:

  • Military show – 4/27 and 4/28 need help
  • 50/50 tics – still available
  • RSVPs needed for 100 anniversary dinner
  • Board meeting on Monday at Hanifan’s office
