Sue Fisher was in the Chair today.  She was also the greeter, the introducer and the thanker.  Fortunately, the meeting substance was minimalist, just like the turnout for todays meeting.  Sue talked about her family's history; a history that dates back to the 16th century in Stutgarten, Germany.  In early 1700, the family moved to New Jersey with their name now anglicized.  Some of these early pioneers emigrated to New Brunswick in 1783.  Her grandfather married a Fawcett, and thus Sue figures she is related to 1/2 of Sackville.
 
There were no regular quests today, but Pat Perry, representing the Mirimachi NB Club, joined us as a visiting Rotarian.  In the make-up department, Dale and Trish met to plan for the transition of Dale to Chair of the projects committee in July.  Dave and Sue F. earned multiple MU's putting breakfast signs out as they refused to stay in place.  Sue P. worked on the breakfast setup all week.  There were no birthday or Pin Pal stories this week.
 
   The 50-50 Draw pot sat at a staggering $70 this week.  Josh's ticket was drawn but he failed to find the Jack of Clubs, instead drawing the 3 Spades.  He donated the consolidation prize to Happy Dollars.
Sue F. was happy that she met last year's president of the Rotaract Club at a workout this past Monday.  She has just been accepted to Dal's medical program.............Josh was happy that he got to see the red sky this morning.  Unfortunately, it usually means a storm later in the day.........Sue P. was happy that the breakfast seems to be coming together.  We'll all know that Saturday.............    Dianne was happy that she competed in a curling event earlier in the week.

In the picture to the left, this is what happens when you live with President Dianne.  Here RYE student Louis is shown wearing the biggest bow tie ever.  Of course this was in celebration of Saint Patrick's Day.  Thank you Gayle for getting the shamrock material the rest of us wore today.
 
In Committee reports, Sue P. distributed the final breakfast task list.  She asked members to bring their own aprons.  Friday will see the set up of tables done by the Civic Center staff.  We will be precooking bacon, preparing fruit salads, decorating and moving supplies to the center............John wants members to tell him if they are going bowling next Thursday - RSVP asap.
President Dianne asked members to turn in their ticket money no later than the breakfast.  She also relayed the Club's condolences to Jamie on the death of his grandfather.
There was no speaker today and the meeting was adjourned early.    Sue concluded the meeting with the 4-way-test.
