 Members, spouses and other guests enjoyed an evening of musical entertainment at our meeting March 6th meeting. We appreciated the musical talents of a hammer dulcimer group, aptly named "Hammer'd" . Jim Hockin has been taking lessons on this unique instrument for a little over a year and he was kind enough to organize their appearance this evening. Jackie Rutherford, Elaine Hall, Diane Lowes and Polly Dux kept everyone in attendance enthralled with their talents for 45 minutes of lively music. Jackie's knowledge of hammer dulcimer history was also appreciated by everyone. We hope that we will be fortunate enough to have them join in the Variety Show this year. A wonderful evening of entertainment ! During the business portion of the evening, Lee Welch announced that HERTHA had met the criteria set by the Good Works Committee for obtaining the $15,000.00 grant that the club approved.

Alex Pineau from the Evergreen Market presented a program about the store that he and his father run south of town. They handle Michigan products and focus on connections with local producers.

Myrta reported on after school programs that Cherryland Middle School is starting this year and asked for volunteers to meet with students for about an hour after school.

Bob Sherman provided us with a tour of the Burnette Foods processing facility here in Elk Rapids this evening. The plant is currently running 24 hours/day 7 days a week processing the local red tart cherry crop into cherry pie filling. Several members who live nearby were amazed to see how large the facility is inside, and enjoyed the opportunity to get a close up view of what happens inside. We had a visiting Rotarian, Joanne Townsend from Ohio who has a summer home on Millers Park Drive which is quite close to the processing plant. Joanne told us about running around in the cherry processing area in the early 1950's when they processed outside in the open. Mr Sherman talked about the other processing facilities that Burnette has in Michigan where they process many other fruits and vegetables. The Elk Rapids plant runs year round and packs many different kids of pie filling for numerous customers in the US and around the world. As we toured the plant we saw labels for pie filling in Arabic as well as numerous different brands that we commonly see on the grocery store shelves. |

Sheila Marker presented her member forum. These presentations are always very popular with the members, and Sheila's was no exception. She was very open as she shared some of the challenges that she has faced during her lifetime. Many of us knew that she was born and raised in Elk Rapids, but not many of us knew the journey that she took when she left her hometown shortly after graduation. Fortunately for us, her life's path brought her back to our community. Thank you Sheila for sharing!
