Club members were reminded:
  • Vern Gauthier is still filling Salvation Army bell ringing assignments.  Sign-up sheets are in the Dome entryway.
  • Susan Kraus says RSVP’s for the club’s annual Christmas party are lagging.  “A lot of you have told me you want to attend.  Now is the time to let us know.”  The event will be held Tuesday, December 8th, 5:30 p.m. at the Grand Traverse Yacht Club, next door to Apache Trout Grill and on West Bay.  Boathouse Restaurant general manager and Rotarian Michael Richmond is catering the event, said Susan.  Pasta and carving stations are among the culinary treats, while music will be provided by the well known and talented duo of Elizabeth Rivers and Al Jankowski. Send your reservations to club administrator Kathy Bussell tcrotary2822@gmail.com
  • First week of the club’s annual One-Way-Coat-Day was marked by Pete Strom and his helpers.  Bring your used (but in good condition) winter duds next week for redistribution.
  • Fifth annual Rotary Chorus Christmas Caroling party will again be hosted by Bob and Ruth Stowe at their Washington Street home.  Sunday, December 13th, 5:30 p.m. is the date and time.  Check with Bob if you’re planning to attend.
  • Foundation committee chair Roy Pentilla noted the club total is about $7,800.  “Our goal is $100 per member.”  This is in competition with other clubs in District 6290.
