Mystery Hand shaker-    Don Brewer

Happy Dollars    Phil Sweeney because lunch at the PLAV is getting closer, Don Brewer noted the St. Louis Cards are on the move,  Phil Bartmann because we had ham which reminded him of the ham dinner,  Kay for the new sign coming into the City on Rt. 120, Thoma for the Hawkeyes beating The Ohio State University, Denny for his wife’s birthday,  and yours truly for getting an Elk, seeing bears and pine martens in Wyoming.

 

Fun & Frolics   -    Bob Blake used the Almanac  for reference on today’s date in history.  He easily collected from all involved.

 

Program      Carl Vallianatos from the McHenry  Sunrise club.    Carl filled us in on the upcoming event at the West Campus Auditorium,   Motivational Speaker Rick Metzger, the 2003 Powerlifting Gold Medalist.  The two McHenry Rotary Clubs are partnering with the High School to bring this Nationally renowned speaker to both High Schools during the day for student assemblies and then in the evening for members of the community.   Rick comes highly recommended by last year’s RYLA attendees, who urged the Sunrise Club to have Metzger speak at the schools.  See Carl or Terry Fitzgibbons if you need free tickets.  A limited number of 400 seats are available.  

 

50/50  Weingart had the ticket , but no luck with the marbles or the $129 pot.

 There aren’t many marbles left in the bag, so don’t hesitate to donate next week for chance to win.
