Social Security starring Barbara Eden
"When
a well-known art gallery owner and her husband receive a visit from her
mother, all seems to be going smoothly until they find out the visit
may not end. Panic and mayhem ensue as life takes a crazy turn in this
hilarious comedy starring the always enchanting Barbara Eden."
Minutarian Update, Week 43
A quick refresher this week on the First Object of
Rotary;
The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
To me it's a reminder, that we are not necessarily a service organization. We are in fact an organization of members that believe in and perform service. We use our Rotary Clubs, as the vehicle for that service. You, the members, the customers of Rotary, are our most valuable commodity. Thank you for being a Rotarian.
District conference is growing near. Remember, if you can only make lunch, sign up just for lunch. Dinner only, sign up just for dinner. How about just a breakout or two, that also works. We start at 10:00am on Friday, May 16th at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. Registrations are coming in early this year. We will sell out, so don't be left out.
Remember, clubs considering submission of a District Grant Application, must do so by April 30th. Don't miss the date, don't be late.
