- Melinda described how easy it is to mistake someone else's car for your own. Luckily her fob key refused to open it!
- Then Debbie S "one upped" Melinda's story describing how her recent utilization of a valet service resulted in her driving away with someone else's car!!
- Ron generously offered boxes of plums, all you had to do was go by his place and pick them up!! May be too late by the time you read this :-)
- Kathy described her recent visit to VGH to have her pacemaker checkup. She described herself as "all tuned up and ready to go"!!
Bulletin editor reminder - always welcome member submissions. Similar to Dalbir's grandchild announcement last week but on a subject of your choosing!
Meanderings
From Secretary Bill - At our club meeting this morning, Kal motioned that starting next week, August 8th, to move our weekly meetings to the Chairman's Room (just inside the buffet) at the River Rock Hotel for the foreseeable future. The motion passed. Kal will be signing a six month contract on behalf of the club. To continue to have the same (warm and cold) breakfast at the RCC, the per meal price was going to increase to $42.13 per person (all in). Garth confirmed that the RCC needed to make $1,000 per week to cover costs. Our new price at River Rock will be $19.95 plus 18% tip and 5% taxes for an all-in cost of $24.72. There will be a minimum of 25 charged each week and a room fee of $100. River Rock needs to make $600 from our room each week.
SO: Please make sure you, your friends, guest and fellow Rotarians go to the new location for all future meetings
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask Bill, Sandra, Sam or Kal as they were your sub-committee
August is Rotary Membership month
