THE PROGRAM

PREZ Franklin gave a summary of his career beginning with introducing his wife Debbie and one of their daughters, Sarah. He confided that on his first date, Debbie took notice of a handsome guy named John who was pumping gas into Greg's car. Greg observed that it could have turned out that the guy named John would be the history teacher and he would be pumping gas - without the support of Debbie.

Greg set fourth the "GOALS FOR THE YEAR" by Greg set fourth the "GOALS FOR THE YEAR" by recognizing the Directors of 2003-4 and all Past Presidents of our Club. He pointed to the Club's remarkable record of taking FIVE out of the SIX first place District 5320 Medallion awards. It shows the Rule of Rotarians--TIME, TREASURE, and TALENT is what makes the difference. The depth of Club membership contributions in TIME and TREASURE are displayed in the Organization Chart. $80,000 in contributions to community endeavors is quite a TREASURE.
