Members Spotlight

 

Rick Goodrich and his wife, Joan, live in Wells. They have two sons, Steve and Tom, and five grandchildren. Rick enjoys golf, boating, reading, and exercising. He has been a Wells Rotarian for ten years, and his favorite color is blue. He joined Rotary because he had friends that were members and he appreciates Rotary’s achievements. His pet peeve is that the country is moving toward socialism under the current administration.  Nancy Raynes, who lives in York, has two stepsons and three grandchildren. She likes doing crossword puzzles, and her favorite color is aqua. She very much enjoyed Richard Russo’s “The Bridge of Sighs.” She has been in Rotary for five years and joined “because Ron Collins told her to.” Her pet peeve is getting up so early on Monday mornings, but she’s always glad once she gets to the meeting.

 

 

Rotary Minute

 

Scott DeFelice spoke about Facebook, a social networking site, and Rotary. Rotary International has had 45,000 hits on its Facebook site. He suggested that perhaps the Wells club should be on Facebook so that we could post our special events.

Brad Paige donated the money to the food pantry.

 

Announcements

 

Blood Drive today at St. Mary’s from noon to 6 p.m. Dennis Thayer said everyone had the schedule e-mailed to them.

 

The Rte. 1/l09 Beautification Project committee was to have a short meeting immediately following the regular meeting.

 

The Rotary Membership/Acceptance Procedure will be an addendum to the by-laws. A copy of the procedure is included.

 

Lee Hansen said that the auction letter was ready to go out as soon as Time Warner notifies him on which channels the auction will be aired.

 

Susan Ilsley announced that the Taste of Wells would be at the Coastal House on
June 23. She requested that the club announce that the funds raised be donated to the Beautification Project. A motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously to that effect.

 

 

Thought for the Week
