After a sumptuous lunch, Prez Joyce Cappelle opened the meeting at 12:40. Allyn Lean led us in the Flag Salute and Howard Wood led us in song with Randy McFarland assisting and also cranking up pianist Mike Oates for the melodies of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “Smile.” Prez Joyce presented us with a prayer of thanks.

Withstanding a geat deal of heckling, Joe Lins took the duty of introducing our guests: Rotarians Howard Dutra and Steve Eldredge - Fullerton Sunrise; and Paul Jones who has 40 years of perfect attendance - East Molink/Silvis, Illinois. Guests were Carol Bankhead - husband Don, John Braun - Mark Geiss, Casey Lins - father Joe, Mike Anderson - Diane Masseth-Jones, and Bill Webster - Tom Meyer.

Recognition guru Jim Williams fined several attendees with a great deal a humor:

Anniversaries
    Jo Brannock and husband Fred - 44 years! She advocates good communication.
    Art Levine and wife Barbara - 31 years! Art admitted he didn’t know what to do.

Birthdays: 
  Jim Williams - 54
    Ken Kaisch - 57
    Dan Fisk - 58
    Minard Duncan - 73
Joe Lins answered the Raffle question correctly by stating that the Angels ball team was in second place but was disqualified for receiving too much assistance from his table mates.

We had a different kind of program today as Joyce asked for input on 3 topics:    

1.Each table group discussed and recorded their attitude on people asking for donations for non-Rotary sponsored programs and events.

2. Data was collected from each attendee on name, birthdate and number of years in Rotary. 3. Each Rotarian wrote down the connections they had with members in our Rotary Club.  The meeting was adjourned at 1:30 p.m.
