HAPPY BUCKS
Many happy Rotarians were present this week, but, due to time constraints, we were unable to celebrate our own happiness.
 
ROTARIAN OF THE WEEK
Tim Crawford gave the bejeweled trophy to Paul Haig, for always going above and beyond with decorating his store for the holidays.  Congrats Paul!
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Vern and Ernestine Pixley were present, and committed a sizable amount of money to the Rotary Foundation.  As such, we have changed one of our high school scholarships to the Don G. Pixley Memorial Scholarship.  Kevin Kelly from the Foundation was on hand to give thanks, and a few mementos to the Pixley's.  Vern Pixley said a few words about his father, all of his accomplishments, and his pride in being a Rotarian.
Wayne then inducted two new members, Ryan Deel and Juliane Morian.  Welcome, and congratulations!
Tom Neveau then came to the podium to give a check to Meals on Wheels.  Renee Cortright was on hand to accept the check, and discussed briefly what the money will be used for.  She also was very thankful for the poinsettias that were delivered with the Meals on Wheels deliveries.
Tim Crawford then spoke briefly about the Masters Raffle.  If you have tickets, please sell them!  March 24th is the date for the raffle.
