The menu was ham slices or turkey rolls, your choice, accompanied by mashed potatoes with ham bits.  The usual salad bar and a dessert of yellow cake rounded out the repast.  Bruce Smith was on assignment, so president elect Brad Mettam filled in.  Rick Littlefield led us in the flag salute, and Matt Messner gave the invocation. 

President Elect 2035

He asked us to remember Jim Hoff and Jim Davis in our prayers. Greg Williston complained that he went to the “Done In A Day” Project location and no one told him that it had been cancelled.  He found another person to help him and they worked anyway.  Nancy Dean, Ken Stodder, and Jay Bahner had their Rotary anniversaries.  Tom Schallert noted that the Bloodmobile was almost ready to be shipped to Africa.  Then it was time for the drawing.  Apparently two Rotaract members came to the meeting last week, pooled their money for five tickets, and drew the joker. No one was that lucky this week.  Our presenter Tony Smithers was from the Humboldt Eureka Convention and visitors Bureau. Their funding comes from the bed tax.  He had other interesting things to say, and then the meeting ended.  You should have been there.

There were 40 Rotarians at the meeting.  I think we need to have a better turnout.
