Rotary Bulletin - May 20, 2009
Bill Walbert's guest was Ed McSorley, the stage manager of the Gridiron Club, a club Bill is currently President of. Bill also announced that the Masons (yet another club he belongs to) would be serving pancakes at the Memorial Day Parade.
Phil McClain reminded us that our generosity will be in evidence at the High School Awards Assembly next week, when the Rotary Club will give a $1,000 scholarship check to a student chosen by the school administration based upon achievement and need.
Frank Bernardo, attending under duress the Rotary District Assembly in Newport earlier this month, was pleasantly surprised at the Saturday evening banquet when Governor Benson announced that the New Canaan Rotary Club had received the District's award for the Best International Service Program based upon our joint project with the High School's Service League of Boys (SLOBS) which sent 3,500 pairs of children's shoes and boots to Afghanistan in time for the start of winter. Congratulations to Amy Wilkinson who wrote the application for this award.
Our speaker was the very entertaining Bud Freund who told stories about how our computers are under threat from things like laptop swine flu and what we can do about it. Most of his recommendations, like the free downloadable Spybot 1.6.2 and Advance System Care 10BIT, seemed like just what the doctor ordered. But when he started talking about hardware firewalls and backing up, many of our analogue brains began to crash. If you were one of them, you can reach Bud at budly@optonline.net.
