There was no Chairperson this week. In fact, there was no morning meeting. Testing a new idea, the Admin Committee was exploring a social event whenever a fifth Thursday occurs in a month. There are 4 such occurrences per year. Credit for the idea goes to Dianne and the organizing goes to Admin Chair John.

Fourteen (14) members of the Club, along with a half-dozen spouses, showed up Wednesday evening along with 6 Rotaract Club members for an evening of fellowship and fun. While most members had bowled at sometime in their life, most hadn't in several years, making for some weird contortions of people's bodies. For sure, some muscles would be sore the next day. Many more of us got tired just watching Mariah, daughter of Rotarain Louise as she bowled and bowled and bowled and bowled. In true Rotary spirit, she was not going to give up until all the pins were down.

Above, President Dianne's husband Frank converses with three Rotaract students, while in the background, John can be seen practicing for the Spring Bash in May. In the right photo, Rotarian Louise can be seen with daughter Mariah and RYE student Louis. Behind Louise, hubby Rob checks his phone for the latest in University business and Wayne and Gayle get ready to bowl.

The evening was capped off with pizza and a few drinks.

is scheduled for June 30th.
