Meeting notes - June 1, 2016
Farewell picnic for John Lothrop

End of John’s year picnic

Thirteen members and four guests met at Tom Sorensen’s home to give a farewell to President John Lothrop and his wife Gale.  John and Gale will be moving to Sedona, AZ later this week.  We wish them the best in Red Rock country. 

Tom provided hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled by Jim Johnson, and drinks.  Members provided salads and desserts.  No excuse if someone went away hungry.  A great socializing time.

 

Member survey

Members are being asked to complete a short survey to determine where we are headed for a new Rotary year.  Please be creative and think outside of the box on ways to improve our club and club meetings.  Also,  what goals should we address this year and what committee you would like to be a part of.  If you haven’t received your survey, get one from Jim Fahrnbruch.  Please return all surveys to Jim as soon as possible.

 

No meeting Wednesday June 8th; volunteer at CAMC Picnic, June 9th

We will help at the CAMC Picnic, Thur. June 9th, 5 pm – 7 pm.  The community picnic will be inside Fuhrer Field House on the beautiful Doane campus.  We need volunteers to serve food and runners to replenish the food line and other needs.  Members who have signed up so far are servers: Tom Parker, Mary and Jack Garrison, Cody Vance, Judy Harms, Jack Thompson, and Chris Duntz.  Runners are: Geoff Easton, Tom Sorensen, and Jim Fahrnbruch.  Email or call Jim F. (402-429-3892) to help at this event.

 

Picnic Table Video:  Our Rotary district wants to show off our Picnic Table Project by recording a short video.  Since we don’t have a meeting Wednesday, we’ve scheduled the filming for 5:45 pm June 8th at Rotary Park.  If you can make it, come out and be an “extra” in the video.

 

Crete Rotary’s Representative to the Boy Scouts:  We have sponsored Boy Scout Troop 212 for a long, long time.  We need someone to be our connection to the troop.  Max Kathol has been our rep for the last several years.  Let Jim F. know if you might be interested.
