Just Last Week…

President Debora welcomed guest, including RYLA participants Taylor Fitzgerald, Tyler Ellenberg, and Fortune Foreman; Rotarian Sally’s guest Alissia Celine; and Rotarian JR’s wife Esther. Rotarian Hugh led the singing of the first and last verses of “Viva La Rotary, Rotarian Dan led the Pledge of Allegiance, and President Debora blessed the food, which included fried chicken, ham, lima beans, mac & cheese, cabbage, salad, and cake.

Taylor, Tyler, and Fortune reported on their RYLA experience, all of them agreeing that it was fun, that they met some great people, and that it was most worthwhile, particularly the team building and leadership exercises. Fortune was named the top delegate of the event. Each had to identify a community project. Taylor will lead a group to introduce and orientate rising 9th graders to high school and the leadership opportunities they will find; Tyler will conduct a number of fundraisers to sponsor 4 day campers at Camp Seafarer; and Fortune provide meals for needy families through Meals from the Heart.

Club Service Director Bob indicated Rotarian George L. was dealing with some medical issues and shared that Rotarian Jackie had lost his grandson. President Debora said there were still slots available for the District Conference to be held in early May in Raleigh. She also went on and on and on in recognizing Rotarian George S. for building a box suitable for storing and transporting the wine glasses. Treasurer Bill gave an end of the month report, indicating there is $28,570 in the checking account. He also shared March expenses and income information. Community Services Director Warren sought nominations for the club’s Bill Mason award, intended for businesses or individuals who exemplify the 4-Way Test in their dealings. Nominations are due to him by Wednesday, April 30. Foundation Director Tim said the club would soon pick 2 of the 4 eligible Rotarians to be recognized as Paul Harris Fellows. A report was given for Youth Services. In addition to the RYPA participants, the Top 10 scholars have been identified for the May 19 recognition ceremony and that Rotary Scholarship applications are available through the high school counselors.

Rotarian Sam reported the boat show now has 96 exhibitors. He challenged everyone to work at the boat show and to sell raffle tickets for the skiff. President-elect Paul gave a perspective on who is responsible for what at the show and sought assistance for all responsibilities. The show ends at 4:00 on Sunday, with clean-up scheduled for Monday.

Rotarian John M. said the Prime Time board needs help with their web site. Tentmeister Hugh gave a tent report and sought volunteers to assist with tents before, during, and after the boat show.

International Director Pappy had the winning ticket, therefore lining his pocket with $44. The lining stopped there, as he drew the 6 of Spades, meaning…

The Queen lives: 10 cards remain…only those who buy tickets are eligible to win the $1000 Queen!

The Lighter Side…

What Confucius did not say: Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. Lady who goes camping must beware of evil intent. Man who leaps off cliff jumps to conclusion. Man who runs in front of car gets tired. Man who runs behind car gets exhausted. Man who stands on toilet is high on pot. A lion will not cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood!

Ethel checked into a motel on her 60th birthday and she was a bit lonely. She thought, "I'll call one of those men you see advertised in phone books for escorts and sensual massages." She looked through the phone book, found a full page ad for a guy calling himself Tender Tony, a very handsome man with assorted physical skills flexing in the photo. He had all the right muscles in all the right places, thick wavy hair, long powerful legs, dazzling smile, six pack abs and she felt quite certain she could bounce a quarter off his well-oiled buns. She figured, what the heck, nobody will ever know. I'll give him a call. "Good evening, ma'am, how may I help you? Oh my, he sounded sooo sexy! Afraid she would lose her nerve if she hesitated, she rushed right in, "I hear you give a great massage. I'd like you to come to my motel room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hot, and I want it now. Bring implements, toys, rubber, leather, whips, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night - tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything and everything, I'm ready! Now how does that sound?” He said, "That sounds absolutely fantastic, but you need to press “9” for an outside line."
