At our last meeting, we inducted two new Rotarians. Please welcome Lisa Jewett (sponsor – Dan Weedin) and Rex Hankins (sponsor Todd Hankins). Please make them welcome and help show them the ropes as they learn more about us and Rotary.
Sorry that I haven’t posted in awhile. I just got back from my annual golf trip with my buddies. This year, we were in hot Boise, ID. It took me all yesterday to kind of catch up.
My first board meeting was yesterday morning and the board approved a 2008-09 budget. Now it goes to the Foundation board to ratify. We should have a copy for all members to view very shortly.
If you missed last Fridays meeting you missed a fun one. We turned a boring club assembly into a Rotary Rocks party. We also introduced our first “Mystery Rotarian” (see above). Can you guess who it is?
Special thanks to Walt Washington for being willing to go first and play along. If you know Walt, you know he is all to anxious to be part of the fun!
I hate the term “Club Assembly”. I used my President prerogative to change the name to “Rotary Rocks”. Sounds better, huh?
Here’s what you can expect at the meeting…
You will get an introduction to our new board members, particularly our Vocational, International, Community Service, and Club Service. They will share a brief vision for their committees this year.
We will be inducting another new member – Lisa Jewett. Please make her feel welcome and introduce yourself to her.
You will hear my vision for the year. Many of you have heard my club theme, “Unleash Your Potential.” You will be introduced to new RI President DK Lee and his theme, “Make Dreams Real”.
You will be asked for your input, suggestions, and goasl for the coming year. This is our club and we share many of the same goals. Let’s talk about them.
I look forward to the year and look forward to seeing you at our meeting on Friday.
If you missed the Karl Hadley Players doing their annual “roast” for our outgoing president, you missed one of the best I’ve ever seen. This year’s target – now Past president Donna Strep. The entire skit is about 20 minutes, which is too long for a You Tube video (10 minute max). So, i took Part II of the skit (about 8 and a half minutes) and put it on Poulsbo Rotary TV for all to share in.
The highlight of the video is a dancing duet with those fabulous dancers Jim “Twinkle Toes” Shields and Jerry “They Call Me Fred” Deeter. I hope you enjoy…

I had the chance to sit in on the monthly Membership Committee meeting this month. Greg Meyer is our new director replacing Kathy Thompson who did a fabulous job for several years. Please join me in congratulating Kathy on a job VERY well done!
We have a dynamic group of committee members – Gary McVey, Vernell Sutherland, Joan Qvigstad, and Rob Gelder. They are looking for more members to join so if you are interested, please contact Greg meyer at gregm@parkerlumber.com.
We have three more indoctrinations going on this week, plus a second reading. In all, expect up to 5 new members this month. Very exciting!
