Johnny J was up to his usual antics. Nobody won the pot, but the details go unrecorded.

Good News

Bob Bedford offered up his obligatory good news. You'll have to ask Bob for details next time you see him.

Chad reported having a great time at the RI convention in Germany.

Rena - We chipped in with all the other clubs in the region to buy a special elevator for a local girl.

Mike - Karen and I are moving out of our house of over 20 years. Extra crew shifts at the landfill on Savage Drive.

Jim M - Loved Germany and Iceland. Also he was convening a Raptors game 6 get-together at Gator's. Ask Jim how the game went.

Jokester

Paul M was in fine form. How to use the chicken dance to remember your grocery list. I liked this one...laugh factor 9.5. Not suitable for all audiences, but didn't embarrass the club either.

Program

Posted on Jun 13, 2019

Today was a wonderful social meeting to celebrate with Anna and Wilf Rieck. A number of past and present members spontaneously stood up to reminisce about Wilf's history in the club, champagne was toasted, cake was eaten, lots of laughs and hugs all around.

Erica spoke for a minute about the Wilf Rieck Rotary (PH) Business Bursary, based on a large donation that Wilf made a few years ago, but she was somewhat drowned out by the unruly mob.

Congratulations Anna and Wilf, from all of your friends in Rotary!!
