Teresa shared information about our meals at
Damon's. Each week we have an option of a house salad or the entre prepared
for us that day. At no time is anyone to request to have chicken or
steak added to the salad. All that we are contracted for is the garden
salad. Additionally when you request special salads; the orders for everyone
else get backlogged because the server is also the one that has to prepare
the salad. There is additional cost that is borne by the club when you
place requests for extras too.
Teresa shared news from the Penn State Rotaract club for the
new academic year. Over 50 persons showed up to an informational session.
These were students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters
in high school.
Point your web browser to: http://www.rotilink.org/eClubs/
click on a club's Website and follow the directions to do make-ups
with the e-club. At the end, you print out your make up slip and submit
it to current secretary Rainer Domalski.

Week's Speaker: Club
Auction for Holidays |
Our most recent meeting was the week before Christmas and on the seventh
day of Hanakkuh. It found us holding our annual club auction to benefit
our various club charities and our club charitable foundation. We were
fortunate to have for Santa Claus & auctioneer Chuck Gambone, and
his faithful holiday Elf, Marshall Goldstein.
Club
members brought in items ranging from beer brand mirrors to bottles of
booze with samplings of food and certificates for more food all auctioned
off.
We ended on a great note and pretty close to on time, a record.
And one of the cooler things we did was recognize the Damon's waitress
who has been taking care of our needs at our meetings this past year.
ENTERTAINMENT 2 FOR 1 BOOKS were
distributed to members. We need to really do a great job selling as this
provides a good bit of our budget each year.
Note taker: Paul Rutter & Judy Myrick

we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will
never create better understanding, a concept that is at the
core of Rotary.”

"Of
the things we think, say or do:
Is
it the TRUTH?
Is
it FAIR to all concerned?
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will
it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
