Jim Blackerby -- Pens, pens, pens & $35 in happy bucks...so to commemorate his 35 years as a financial advisor he had pens made. Unfortunately, 25 years of service were printed on them. We got "free" pens! Linda Hennessey -- regaled us with a story about her harrowing trip to Tampa, Florida, that included 12-hours stranded in Reagan International Airport, then facing the unexpected (for her) throngs in town for the Gasparilla Pirate Fest. Argh, Matey! Betsy Wisehart -- she had a Florida trip, too to meet with her daughter & visit family Dennis McLeavey -- today's guest, Dina from Horses Bring Hope, reminded Dennis of being in the Saskatchewan Province of Canada in his younger days and dealing with horses in cold weather. Val Szlatenyi -- MOVED INTO HER NEW HOME!!!!! Herb Mansfield -- health of his lovely wife Bernadette is improving Jim Buchanan -- misses the foot traffic that B82enny's brought to his store before it closed...so he's promoting a raffle for an 82" flatscreen TV; he's timing this event with NCAA's March Madness basketball tournament Joanne Daly -- is happy to have today's guest speakers present and she's been a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs for 10 years and she was a former president. Steve White -- informed the club that HBH is the second time the club donated to such a program & he reminded us all that our support for such programs reminds the public about the good we do in our community Karl Midunsky -- this veteran international traveler beautifully sang happy birthday in German with a perfect Bavarian accent. Martin Vincent requested that membership should then sing that song "the right way." Pam tried to save us--especially the guests--from such brutal behavior....but she couldn't hold back the cacophonous performance that's within every Wakefield Rotarian. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARL! |
