The Foghorn by Editor, Bernie Scott
As President Bruce is still MIA, Dennis Boy brought
the May 25th Rotary meeting to order. In the absence of Ed Merrion,
Pastor Norm Ryding provided the club with the invocation.
Ed Lysaught thanked Dr. Houck, Rod Bensz, Ed Beutner,
Steve Hornyak, Dolly Marhsall and student, Richard, for all
the work that was done at the SRIVE picnic. Mad Dog Sammann,
once again, talked about the Port-A-Pit chicken sale on June
2nd. The time is from 2:45 PM until 8:00PM, or until the chicken
is sold----which is always early. Suzy has forms for the Paul
Harris Fellowship and RI contributions.
Suzy was the “Sarge” and called for
Debbie Burke and Ed Bednar to collect fines. District Governor
John Wendel told the club that October 13 is the date for the
Foundation meeting in South Bend. Bruce Smith thanked all the
veterans and asked them to stand for recognition. Wendel also
noted that July 25th is Rotary night with the White Sox. It’s
White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins. Good seats are limited to the
first 1000.
Guest, Jeannie Houck asked husband, Dick Houck,
to pay $5.00 for the privilege of having lunch with her at Rotary.
Terri paid for her mother’s 90th birthday. Bernie Lootens
paid to be back at the club. Julie paid for Grant’s 9th
birthday. Jim Bell paid for his son who will travel with him
to pick up his other son and only grandson for the holiday.
Ed Lysaught paid for Suzy’s tireless effort.
Judy Jankowski (foreign cash accepted please) paid for her Rotary
visit from the Roselawn club.
Today’ program was all about STRIVE students
and their mentors. Students received cash gifts of achievement.
Those gifts had a range from $25.00 to $100.00. Some received
Albano certificates. Those Rotarians (and spouses) in the mentoring
program include, Debbie Burke, Larry Middleton, Terri Sammann,
Ykcim Sallag, Susan Pound, Bryan Protratz, Gerry Jones, Tim
Griffin, Joyce Hollingsworth, Rev. Dave Matevia, Rhett Fagg,
and Marilyn Fagg. Others include Bruce Smith, Maggi Spartz,
Ed Lysaught, Suzy Vance, Steve Hornyak, Dennis Boy, Pat Boy
and Ed Merrion. Finishing up the list are Bob Sheridan, Jim
Scott, Dave Lawson, Nick Walz, Rita Dagys, Mike Pound and Julie
Wozniak. If I forgot any names, please let me know and I will
get it in the next issue. Do I smell a hotdog in this paragraph?
Thanks to Pat Boy for covering the news at times
of my absence. Pat will cover the news in the next issue, as
this editor will be meeting with the owner of the major radio
stations in Southwest Michigan, including Cozy 98.3 FM. They
are partnering with Smooth Jazz at South Shore and will start
a major advertising campaign for us very soon.
Until next time, only one cookie per person. Let’s
see if Mike can Hackett (original phrase brought to you by Rod
Bensz.)
