At last week's meeting, Dave showed off the two banners that our club received at the Rotary Foundation Dinner. We are an Every Year, Every Rotarian club and our per capita giving is at least $100. Denise is missing from the picture and Natalie is not quite blocking me out. And take a look at Marlene's eyes.
Early on in the evening, Marlene challenged the District Photarian Paul Keenan to get a picture with her eyes open. And what a challenge it was! The following is what Paul posted on the District's page.
Here is Marlene with Father Jim Swarthout and Angela Walker, District Membership Chair
Marlene with District Governor Elect Mark Bak
Marlene leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Perhaps her eyes are closed on purpose as she is caught up in the moment.
A few shots of our table. We had the largest representation of any club in the District and clearly we were the most fun. We even adopted a Dawnbreaker. Wyatt Lindell. As an aside Wyatt is from Woodstock and clearly sees the value of noon meetings versus 6:15 am meetings. Mimi jumped in as the Dawnbreakers Assistant Governor to support Wyatt as he was the only one from their club to attend. I'm sure Wyatt also sees the value of being in a club that does things as a club.
And then - success!
Paul did manage one - with Marlene looking away. So challenge accepted and half achieved.
