Attendance
On August 2nd, we had 34 Rotarians
and our only visitors are the guest speakers!
Announcements
President Rebecca
proudly read us some e-mails that she received from
some entertainment participants in Ribfest. The first
one was from Angus McCarthy and the Little Mysteries
with big thanks to all of us, and the second was from
Joan of the Memphis Motion and Star Sensations. She
congratulated all of us on great time and fantastic
team effort.
Bruce Pettit got up
on behalf of Harry Hakomaki, who is
still dismantling the site. Harry wanted to thank everyone
on the Ribfest Committee and expressed appreciation
to all the volunteers. We will probably need even more
volunteers next year. Bruce said their clickers showed
59,872 in attendance, but this is probably not accurate.
All in all, it was a very busy, successful weekend and
we all showed our enthusiasm with a big round of applause.
Norm Rhora told us
about Bendale Acres’ Summerfest which is on Saturday,
August 13th from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. They need
volunteers to help out, so fill out the yellow form,
or let Norm know that you are available.
Geoff Dean let us know
that Kessla, who was the Interact President, is now
settled into Sweden for a year as an exchange student.
He also pointed out the interesting speaker on August
16 is Lana Feinstein and she will be talking about violence
in the community and a successful program that can curb
this.
Gary MacGregor noticed
that everyone in the room was either on the Ribfest
committee or was a volunteer at same. He reminded us
about the salmon fishing on August 9th. Then he shared
some comments that he heard at Ribfest and summed it
up by saying that Ribfest is fantastic for Scarborough.
Lost and hopefully found:
black and grey Qualcomm cell phone at Ribfest. Let Sheila
know if turned in.

tent.

very happy buck in appreciation for the volunteers at
Ribfest 2005.

to know that he is going away for five weeks and he

up again remembering that it is her son’s 50th

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens
it. – English proverb
The same wind snuffs candles yet kindles flames; so,
where absence kills a little love, it fans a great one.
