LAST WEEK IN REVIEW

Rotary Centennial & HistoryVisiting Rotarians: Geoff Wilson from the evening club
Make-ups turned in: Paul Rutter & Harry Zimbler both made up with the Eclub
Guests:
Marcy Panko, guest of Hugh Mose & Jim Snyder, guest of Linda Friedman
50/50: LeAnn Martin drew the 2 of hearts! There are 42 cards remaining. The pot has about $200 in it.
Auction: There were two auction items. The first from Bonnie Abramson was a collapsible cooler full of clothing items. It went to Chris Kerner with a high bid of $25. The second item was gift coupons to McDonalds. These went to Ranier Domalski and Marshall Goldstein for $12 each after a hesitant crowd finally got over the fear of being acknowledged as a fast food user.
