ON A BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY

Another spring day in the Summer! The meeting of May 24^th was opened by King Richard with a pronouncement heard throughout the land.

Lori led the pledge and Chuck Stark gave us Rotary grace. Duncan Holt intro’d guests from Santa Rosa, E Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa Sunrise, and Petaluma. Our long distance Rotarian was from Wichita, Kansas.

Rotarians with guests included: Dale Sipes with wife Teddy. Terry Price with friend Gary Lucas. Bill Gittins with friend Carolyn Fox. Mike Merrill introduced Bill Ferguson. Tom Boylan introduced Bob Smith.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Joe Perez (left) is seeking host families ( 3 or 4 ) to be host for our inbound female student from Chile. Call Joe if you or someone you know is able to participate. Does not need to be a Rotarian. On a sad note Louie Jacopetti lost his wife of 45 years on May 11th. Memorial donations may be made to the Sonoma County Hospice.

Mike Merrill gave kudo’s to Marigo and to Chuck Stark for exceptional service during the Rotary conference. Mike also reminded everyone to sign up for next year's conference a.s.a.p. as the staterooms are going rapidly. The Conference, dubbed "The Millenium Cruise" will be on May 5-8, 2000, on Princess Cruises’ Alaska line. Contact Bill Arnone at (707) 528-2882 for more info.

The club received a nice thank you from Lynn Benoit for SRWR contribution to project graduation at Montgomery high school.

Ken Kushnir forewarned "King Richard" that upcoming royal celebration the King is not going to have a good time! However, everyone else will have a splendid time. There will be a storyteller from the King’s childhood. The Soirée will be held June 26th at the Wikiup Swim & Tennis Club. Plan to be there…as you will pay whether you come or not…so why not come and join the royal festivities.

RECOGNITION (a.k.a. Fines)

Joe Perez slept on the gym floor in Ukiah as a chaperone for the kid’s evening activities. Joe, convicted of lust and illicit thoughts was fined $25.00.

Bob Marigo agreed to participate in ALL the Rotary Governor’s Banquet and sang John Lennon’s song…Marigo thought the Gov. said the Lennon Sisters.

Ken Kushnir was recognized for his new hacienda on wheels which is 2 feet longer than Duncan Holt’s. Mr. Bleeding Heart was so generous to pass on his good fortune to Ron Street for the sum of $25.00.

Several "Bulls" were recognized for their birthday’s this month, including your bulletin writer.

Craft Talk: Paula Wren

She was so excited, that she told us all about her business, but left out the important personal "stuff." She is a business writer. An evolving vocation. She works actively with seniors and senior issues, homes and gardens and real estate. Her clients range from plastic surgeons to a manufacturer of sewer cameras.

Writers get lots of rejection so Paula reads the funny papers to keep her perspective…or she could just talk to Marigo.

Raffle

Tom Boylan won the opportunity to go for the gold marble…Oh..so sorry!

George Mickelson won the $20.00
