Introducing the Geocaching Community to Rotary
"Hide and Seek" Rotary International Style
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a Tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is most often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek", sharing many aspects with orienteering, treasure-hunting, and way marking.

First-Ever Rotary "Night of Music" A Big Hit
Proceeds Go To Support International Causes
The Lawrence Barn in Hollis was the perfect venue for an evening of musical entertainment featuring local artists. The opening act was the talented jazz trio of Trevor Nierendorf, Jared Rocco, and JT Trull, all students at Hollis Brookline High School. They were followed by singer, song writer Cynthia Schroer and guitarist Scott Lanphear. Next in the line up was Rotary's own guitarist and singer, Basil Harris. The multi-talented Julie Lavender of Hollis performed last, along with three musicians from the Boston area.
All of the music was fantastic.

Cow Pattie Bingo Event Jumps Over the Moon
Club Nets Almost $5K for Charities at Hollis OHD
The "Cult of the Cow" was officially born at this year's Hollis Old Home Days as club members and their families - including George LeCours and his son Ryan, Julie Rowland, Dave Lowrance, Lynn Boornazian, and David Roth -
enthusiastically donned bovine costumes to sell Cow Pattie Bingo tickets. The day was perfect, the crowds enthusiastic, and the pace of CPB tickets sales was like a stampede. By the time the dust cleared nearly $6,000 had been raised in the popular event.

first-time home buyer credits, and more. Ken handed out a detailed and informative set of printed materials that expanded on the 25 minute presentation he gave to over 30 club members.

What was the problem before?
Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate.
After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained
the Flight Attendant, "and it took us a while to find a new pilot."
