Meeting of the Rotary Club of Eureka
Lunch: Chinese chicken salad, Teriyaki pork, sugar cookie.
Weather: Beautiful sunshine on a very wet day.
President Carlton Nielsen called the meeting to order. Gary Todoroff led the pledge and Dan Heinen led prayer.
Visiting Rotarians were Peter Fenell & Mike Burger.
Guests included Dee Brady, David Loring, a few sons and grandsons whose names I missed, and Sile Bauriedel.
Student Guests were on Christmas break.
Birthdays and Anniversaries are in the book, congrats to all.
Peter Fenell of Fortuna Sunrise Rotary announced a Polio Walk for January 1st.
Fred Griffith led a Backpacks for Kids auction of some wine to stuff backpacks extra full for the last day of school.
Today's Presidential Hat: A classy felt top hat.
Mike Downey is officially the sheriff. $100.
Jay Hockaday hadn’t really done much, but the Chamber has a new Board of Directors, which cost him $50. President Nielsen will be Chair of the Chamber in 2012. That and failing to introduce his lovely wife are worth $100.
Russ Harris went to Costa Rica for a week. $40.
PROGRAM
From Milan Italy, sporting an Italian flag die-job on his hair, our current exchange student, Gabriel Umidon.
Essentially, Gabriel’s presentation was this:
FUN FACT: Milan has Italy’s largest gothic cathedral, biggest train station, biggest soccer stadium, is fashion capital of the world, and also has a large glass tube in some public place. Silly Italians.
School in America is more fun, American pizza sucks, and Gabriel likes barbeque.
A Merry Christmas from the president, and the meeting ended 25 minutes early.
Respectfully Submitted,
John Harper
