HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

December 14, 1998

Order! Order!

King Richard called the meeting to order at 12:35pm and Duncan Holt led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Marc Matson gave a long wonderful speech on the meaning of happiness and the spirit of giving, much to the chagrin of Bob Marigo. Someone at the back table had to give Bob the LOOK. Mark Decker did an admirable job of introducing visiting Rotarians.

Announcements

Crab Feed – turn in $$ and ticket stubs to Mark Decker; donations of prizes and cash donations go to Bob Marigo. John Withers donated $1,500 worth of Mead Clark Lumber. There is a waiting list for tickets; anyone who cannot attend should contact Tom Tessier.

Contacts for Crab Feed Needed: We need to arrange for transportation, lodging and rental car for one week trips to Mexico and Hawaii. We need contacts, names and phone numbers of people who can help us put this together. Contact Ron Street with names or numbers of people who are in the know.

Windsor Rotary Club is having a special speaker, Captain Al Haynes of Unitied Airlines, who will be sharing with them the inspiring and life changing story of United 232.  January 19, 1998, 7:00 a.m., probably at Luther Burbank, $10.00, continental breakfast, call Beverly Graham at (707) 838-3737 for reservations and info.

The cost of lunch will increase from $11.00 to $12.00, starting January 4, 1998. The additional dollar will be used to cover the costs for guests who attend our meetings.  Previously, we had a rebate system arranged with Los Robles Lodge wherein a portion of each lunch that was collected went to the club for this purpose.  However, when they increased the price of lunch they did not add the rebate into the new cost.  Please direct any questions or concerns regarding this matter to Richard Standard or Bob Harris.

Avoid the Rush

By filling out the ticket stubs on your crab feed tickets and getting them to Chris Rosell ASAP, you can avoid having to stand in line to register and get your bidding books at the Crab Feed.
