On Wednesday Morning, March 1, 2017 we had a Club Assembly, Walter Douglas led the Club in the invocation and pledge. President Rob Samouce then gave announcements starting with the Club members purchasing American Flags for their homes and friends as part of a District Wide Project. District Conference will be coming up in May 18th thru the 21st at the Sarasota Hyatt where British Invasion will be the theme. All members are welcome to attend. Organization of the Club trip to the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta in June is coming along well according to committee chairs Robbie Selby and Anne Towers. Robbie went over the Rotary Social we will be having at Wyndemere Country Club on Wednesday evening, March 29th, in honor of Bob Hattemer. We will be playing Pickle Ball and Boccie Ball while enjoying happy hour. Make sure to wear your most colorful slacks/pants to see if you can win the Hattemer Loud Pants Challenge.
Kirsten Petry then discussed the sad event that happened to a friend of her son, Mitchell Reidy from Naples, who was severely injured by a hit and run driver recently on the East Coast of Florida where he was attending College when he was walking home. He is still in critical condition with head injuries in induced coma. A fund has been set up to help with the large medical bills he and his family will suffer as a result.

Robbie Selby then collected happy and lucky bucks (lucky for Luck of the Irish with St. Patrick’s Day coming up). There was lots of accomplishment kudos expressed from proud members about what their children have recently done in the education arena. Also shared were some lucky events some members have experienced in the last year.
Mark your calendars, unless otherwise stated, all our meetings are at Hyatt House Naples.
