COMMITTEE UPDATES
The January 25, 2018 meeting will be moved to the evening with proceeds to the Rotary Foundation. Details in January. SERGEANT at ARMS - Kenneth Heather reminded us Christmas is about helping others. Melinda is on grandbaby watch. Mary Lou and Dalbir are on a Christmas event tear with daily activities to attend. Bill is off to Minnesota for football, basketball and family, likely in that order. Larry is back complete with skin graft and working through painful rehab. SPEAKER In lieu of a speaker we held an auction pre-meeting to explain this year's event. In Kal's absence vice-chair John took the helm. The high light will be a new fangled electronic system for the auction to handle prizes. There will be tablets at each table for guests to monitor prizes, make bids and pay. Other auctions have reported this system works well. It will cost us nothing this year. Editor's ChoiceWelcome back to Larry. |
