Bill Gleason was the first to be called upon by Finemaster Glenn O’Young with an announcement about an important life event.  Bill has recently retired from his career as a banker and financial consultant.  Congratulations, Bill!  Enjoy the years ahead!

In a round of Rotary Jeopardy, Ken Mallory was called upon to answer:

• In which battle did Napoleon die? (He didn’t die in battle.)
• Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? (At the bottom.)
• What is never eaten for lunch or dinner? (Breakfast.)

These groaners were well-known to the Rotary crowd and the round ended with Finemaster Glenn taking a fine on himself for $50 for “messing up.”

A photo of the Rotary courtyard at the Chamber of Commerce building was shown and Bob Harbicht was called upon for comment.  He invited everyone to the opening of a time capsule on Thursday, 11/12, at 11 am.  The time capsule was buried 50 years ago and will provide an opportunity to celebrate Rotary’s community involvement over the decades.

Finally, Rob Post and his sister, Gina Franco, a former member who was visiting the club, were both recognized for Rob and his wife’s thoughtful birthday celebration for their nephew’s (Gina’s son) sixth birthday.  The youngster was home sick on his birthday and is lucky to have an uncle and aunt who showed up with decorations and cupcakes.  Rob was recognized for $100, an extra $50 being added for the SC flag on the house.
