August 31, 2016 Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Event
Wednesday, August 31st, we had a great wine tasting social evening event at Bleu Provence with a special visit from our new District Governor, Ladd Waldo (from Lakewood Ranch Rotary Club), his lovely wife Sally and Area Governor Jeff Clapper (from North Naples Rotary Club). Four prospective new members were present and we played an engaging game of who would you have lunch with and where. Governor Waldo gave a great speech going over his personal experiences with Rotary (he started his Rotary life right at the top at Rotary International Headquarters in Chicago as the Rotary International’s Chief Financial Officer), energizing us with the history and purpose of us being Rotarians and inviting all to Atlanta next June for the Rotary International Convention and to the District 6960 “British Invasion” in Sarasota next May. A fun time was had by all. Next Wednesday morning, September 7th, our Speaker will be Carly Gibb filling us in on Drug Free Collier. Mark your calendars, unless otherwise stated, all our meetings are now at Hyatt House Naples.
