Rotary Rocket - May 9th, 2013 Edition
by Wyatt, Bradford
Frank Doherty introduced the speaker, Tom Sturiale, a former co-worker of Frank's from Corning, and previously President of Jamesbury. Tom discussed some of his career history, and some leadership principles.
Val Callahan, along with leading our club in song, wanted to let the club know that currently, our club has $78 per capita donations to The Rotary Foundation under Frank's year as President. We need $1100 more dollars to make it an average of $100 per capita. Once we do that, we move to the head of the cue to qualify for more grants for NIC View and other projects. Right now, District Governor Rich Dietz will match you for up to 200 Rotary Recognition Points for every dollar you contribute up to $200. Also, we will use Rotary Recognition Points to give Kate Moody a Paul Harris Fellow to thank her for her service to our club. Membership Chair Bob Mangan stepped right up and donated $50, and several other club members joined him.
Please mail your check made out to our Foundation Chair, Val Callahan. Make the check out to THE ROTARY FOUNDATION. Mail the check to:
Val Callahan, Foundation Chair
8 Westwood Circle, Worcester, MA 01609
Charles Cullum of Worcester State asked for help with RYLA - please go to www.ryla7910.org for details and signup
Finally, Chris Crowley mentioned that Polar Beverages donated Ginger Beer(makes a great Dark and Stormy), and Pomegranate Sangria Seltzer to the Rotary District event. Thanks Chris! Not just for the donation, but because the Pomegranate Sangria flavor is terrific!
New member Liz Foss pulled her own ticket in the raffle - but gave the money back to the club. Thanks Liz!
Next week - Andrew Davis, the Airport Director will be the main speaker. The slate of officers for 2013-2014 will also be voted on.
