April 16, 2007 – Rotary Notes
From the Top:
I want to thank Jim Brady for leading
the meeting last week in my absence.
It looks like the weather is finally going to give
us a real feeling of Spring by the end of the week.
I'd like to think it is coinciding with the end of
the tax filing season on the 17th. Make sure you
have filed or extended your return by Tuesday. As I
said with my Happy Dollar a couple weeks ago; the
weather couldn't be better for those of us stuck in
a office.
Enough about taxes, there are many things going on
in the club that are far more interesting. The
Playhouse
continues towards completion and the nice weather
may let us get it outside to work on. The big event
this week of course is
Art, Food and Wine.
Please try to get any last minute items to John as
soon as possible, this includes yours truly. Ticket
sales will be crucial this week.
I will see everyone Thursday.
Thanks,
--Fred
Near the
Top:
President Elect John Hansen went to
the District Assembly and Club Officer Training last
Saturday. Here’s the short version of his report:
I attended the District Assembly in Troy with two
non-office holding members of the Chelsea club (PP
Fred Van Reesesma and Charlie Silkworth). They went
because they were good little Rotarians. For future
Dexter officers - note that no club in the world
does as much to train and energize its leadership as
does Rotary. You cannot help but feel great pride
in the worldwide impact of our little Rotary Club
when combined with the other 32,000 clubs
worldwide. The gears on our rotary wheels were
meshed in intergalactic harmony and we got out
early.
--John
