February 24 General Meeting

Announcements: Easter Celebration on March 31, 2010. St. Patrick’s Day celebration on March 12th 2010. Cory Reeder was inducted into the club with Al Fisher’s interrogation session….31 years old, married, born in Visalia, attended CA Baptist college in Riverside and was on the golf team. Cory began a pool business with our club’s very own Larry Rambaud. Welcome Cory!!

Joke of the Week:  Bruce McDermott began and no “BOOS” were heard. Randy Smith finished the round and the score is not tied at 12.

Who is this Young Rotarian?: Canadian Mountie? Dare devil? Presenting, Dr. Pete Akin….who would have known he was so daring! The freckles were a dead giveaway while every yelled – Larry Gallian (camping & softball rounded the events). Next was cub scout and later became scout master…..and yes Fred Scott even received a discount with the Cal Poly San Luis discount of $249. Thunder bird (inverted of course), Air Force of almost 22 years, no other than Steve Dwelle. Lastly Mike Schauffele had visited his home in Germany and brought back pictures to share with President Brian along with a car that I’m sure Brian’s son will certainly enjoy.

Lastly, Bruce McDermott had to share a picture with Dave Burr and Dave Miller and masked man. Tony Salierno announced there was a security leak in the club and later shared a story of himself recently fainting and receiving a number of stitches….I don’t know about everyone else, but this fainting stuff is staring to scare me. Are we going to have to put padded walls and floors around the room?

Program: Don Sharp introduced the program. Bill Tweed is a historian and presented the club with a lot of “food for thought” in terms of the controversial subject of water in our valley. The subject matter was fascinating to hear a different perspective…..and from a historian’s point-of-view! There isn’t enough room on the page to go into detail, but you certainly missed a great program.
