On Thursday Evening, March 23rd,
2017, Maple Syrup Thorpe led the Club in the invocation and the pledge.
Rob then introduced our guest speakers, Connie Preu, Executive
Director and Annette Kirk, Database Administrator of Collier
Harvest. Collier Harvest is a non-profit that distributes food to over
50 agencies in Collier County for the needy. A few times a year they
will purchase about $15K in discounted food (worth about $23K) from
Publix and distribute to the agencies for further
distribution to the needy. They work personally with the agencies to
make sure needs are met quickly and they have been doing this great work
since 2005. To help or donate to Collier Harvest go to:

Sgt. At Arms, Robbie Selby announced a guest of
Mikel Groendahl (his Cousin) and then collected happy bucks. John Titus
gave us an update on the June 3rd paint ball tournament
(mark your calendars and get a team together) Rob
then discussed members purchasing American Flags for their homes as
part of a District Wide Project. If you want a 3 x 5 foot flag with
pole and bracket for mounting (only $25) let Rob know. The Club bought
25 and there are only 9 left. Get yours before
they are gone.
Robbie Selby then went over again the Rotary Social we will be having at
Wyndemere Country Club next Wednesday evening, March 29th,
in honor of Bob Hattemer. We will be playing Boccie Ball while
enjoying happy hour. Please bring a prospective member, spouse or
significant other and make sure to wear your most
fancy country club colorful slacks/pants to see if you can win the
Hattemer Fancy Pants Challenge. Robbie needs a head count for the Wyndemere Party so please e-mail Robbie and let her know how many you are bringing ASAP: robbieselby@gmail.com
