Happy Dollars
Bob Cave enjoyed the Rotary Means Business (RMB) meeting at Blue Fox Run.
Bruce Sayward reported that five of our members participated in the RMB meeting. Several played golf before the meeting. Bruce said that four of the clubs in our area make up this RMB group. The group is working well. There will not be a meeting in September while the RMB leadership does some program adjustments.
Hank Frey was happy to be at the meeting and is looking forward to the golf tournament.
Sue Chatfield described the role of the Assistant Governor, a role she has had in the past. Sue is from the West Hartford club. The AGs help the club presidents and the club to meet district goals.
Larry Sullivan reported having difficulty getting a firm number of golfers from Michelle Hagan due to her being on vacation and moving to a new home in Simsbury. He finally was able to pin her down to 155 golfers which is less that last year, but still a good number. We can still use several more foursomes.
Kathleen Parr thanked everyone for the support of the auction. She said that auction was closed unless someone had a big ticket item to offer.
Jolly Lux has been away but was happy to report that the District has approved $4000 toward our International Service project with total funding of $9000. She thanked everyone for our support.
Salin Low, who was presiding at the meeting this morning, was happy to report that she was vacationing with friends in Mystic and also on a small island of the coast of Plymouth, MA.
