New Canaan Rotary Club Bulletin September 13
Recently returned from an eclectic trip with, and in support of, various family members President Amy got the meeting off to a late start and then was chagrined to find that the chaplain was absent, but was bailed out by about-to-be-inducted new member Roy Riggio who came up with a serviceable blessing on no notice.
Amy then became so dazzled by the high level conversation at the head table that she began the business portion of the meeting late also. She called on late arriving Head Lobster Scott Hobbs, bearer of opaque dessert shells [much criticized by Rucci the Elder, as differentiated from Rucci the Missing]. Scott distributed the shells, 30 per member, with instructions to fill them with something fattening, label them [to overcome Rucci the Elder’s concern] and deliver them to the Historical Society by noon on Friday the 14th. The setup shift should arrive at the site by noon on Friday and work as long as possible. The Saturday setup crew should appear between 10:30 and 11:00 on Saturday. There is currently a deficit for the traditionally busiest Saturday dinner hour shift. Just show up and make this Lobsterfest happen.
Amy then rose with a scroll of announcements. Fred Baker has replaced the Rotary sign at the YMCA. God bless Fred. Phil McClain, Frank McBrearity and Jack Pugliese have identified, interviewed, nominated and been pleased to hear that Elizabeth Dahill, a senior at USC, will be an Ambassadorial Scholar representing our district next year. For gearheads the Byrum/Cos Cob annual car show will occur on October 7 from 10:00 to 4:00. The Rotary Rose Bowl Parade float committee is seeking contributions. If interested, contact Amy. One may also contact her for application forms for your very own Rotary Master Card, which generates funds for Rotary International. Amy once again reminded us that she and Nancy R. are off to Mystic on October 6 to hear R.I. President Wilf Wilkinson. Groupies are welcome to tag along. Finally, the Greenwich Rotary Golf Outing will be on September 26. Amy has sign-up info for those interested. By this time it was Friday.
Nancy B then announced that her recent absence has been caused by a benign brain tumor behind her eye. She is scheduled to have it removed at Columbia Presbyterian in the near future. She is in good hands. She is also in the hearts and prayers of her fellow Rotarians.
Phil McClain announced the imminent arrival of their adopted child. Exciting news indeed.
Amy then invited District Governor Ernie Luise and her Assistant Phoebe Leask to induct our newest members, Roy Riggio and Carolyn Clark. They handled this task with enthusiasm and aplomb. The membership gave a hearty round of applause to welcome Roy and Carolyn into our midst.
By this time there was no time, but District Governor Ernie, the day’s program, gave a brief, but impassioned talk about her goal of raising $25,000 to provide clean water by way of bio-sand filters to 125,000 children in the Kolar area of
