Upcoming Programs

Happy Dollars: I did not really get to take notes on happy dollars because we did something different (see
speaker’s box below). However, if I may, I would like to take a shot at why I think people are happy.
Eric is just happy, he always has a smile on his face ;-) Merri was merry- well because I am always merri. Ryan was happy
that he was not getting married but his brother did. Kevin was happy he has two beautiful daughters. Karen S was happy to
have another Karen in our club. Theresa was happy to be a new member as we are that she joined us. Dennis was happy to be
married to someone always so merry. Pastor Mike was happy to be off his knees – not doing flooring. –And his daughter just
got married. James was happy to have a great sense of humor. Karen M was happy to have another Karen too. Tony is happy
that June is not too far off.
$ 16 collected
The Wine winners > Merri and James won the wine – ENJOY ;-)
The almost Golf Ball winner: Patrick picked for Tony and Eric a golf ball that said “you lose.”
Collected $50 > - the kitty is over $700.
Guest Speakers: Tony, our president, had a great idea. If we do not have a speaker, we can go around the room and say
something about ourselves or our business. This week we told everyone something others may not know about us....
Tony, “The Boss” on NYPD and in real life has two wonderful kids and family. Eric is the fourth generation of funeral
directors in his family. Christmas dinner should be a blast, “Please pass the embalming sauce.” Ryan was a male model before
he sold insurance. Kevin has been married for twenty years, three of which were the happiest of his life. Guy has a twin that
sometimes poses for him as the photographer at weddings if he cannot get there. Is it really Guy at Rotary?-hmmm keep them
guessing. Karen S met her hubby on a blind date. Karen M loves teaching and has two wonderful grandkids. Merri was born in
the sixties. The family dog was named Christmas, so that is how we got Merri. Dennis may not really be Italian, he is more
German. Pastor Mike used to do flooring before becoming the pastor of Holy Trinity Church. James was an alcoholic – he
could not stay away from the embalming sauce. Theresa is a retired nurse and really enjoyed getting to know us better ;-)
.
Thank you very much Tony. You did a great job!! We look forward to another great Rotary Meeting!!!!
