Happy Dollars
Gary Miller is going to his daughter's house in upstate NY to celebrate Labor Day with 3 of his grand kids. His daughter in Baton Rouge is finally back in their house after a year because of storm flooding and is looking to send the trailer that they have been living in to Texas to help.
Ann Clark shared with the club that she was celebrating her 55 anniversary, in spirit, with Pat. She also that her granddaughter Sheila who is doing an internship at Mass General was co-author of an article printed in a medical journal based upon her volunteer work at St. Francis last year.
President Don fined himself a buck for forgetting his page. He was also thrilled that the ad book was done and in press. The ad book is up to a record 80 pages plus cover.
Nancy Nation informed the club that the ad books cover page was blown up to poster size and used to explain Rotary to the class we support. Nancy also announced that Hank Frey was home after spending 20 days in the hospital. His immune system is still too compromised for visitors, but he greatly appreciates the cards and e-mail.
Robin DiNicola shared that she had a great experience at the Midas shop owned by Brian O'Donnell.
Tom Voorhees was at a Yard Goats game, which was great, and ran into Chris Ann Collgan who wanted him to say hello.
Dale Bronson reported that he met with his transplant doctor and all is great. He will also have the opportunity to see in October the two people that saved his life, his donor and his doctor. His three grand kids are now back in school. They all said that they had the best summer of their lives and so did he.
Phil Mikkelson reports that he is doing really well. He reminded everyone how important it is to receive those e-mail. He also noted the various sports teams that he supports along with a go UCONN.
Larry Sullivan and Richard Heath each shared a very funny joke with the club. (Editorial Comment: You need to attend to share in the laughter and camaraderie)
