Meeting Minutes

President Ed opened the meeting and called on Jeff Flowers, who asked the members to reflect for a moment on the meaning of the Memorial Day just passed and the sacrifices of D-Day whose anniversary is upon us. He then led us in the Pledge and gave the Invocation. President Ed read a letter from Jason Murphy, a previous recipient of a Hull Fund Scholarship. After describing his school and job experience, Mr. Murphy wrote “I simply cannot thank the trustees of the Hull Fund Scholarship enough. I hope that you can see the greatness that this fund is doing for the people you so graciously give to, and I hope that I make each and every one of you proud. It is with the highest honor that I call myself a Hull Fund Scholar.” Richard Rogers gave the Sunshine Report. At our last meeting, we raised $306.09 for CART. Inside challenger was Rotarian Chris Eterlee; Fuller, Frost, and Associates was the outside challenger. This week the inside challenger is Rotarian Patrick Cullinan and Rotarian Barclay Bishop and I are the outside challengers. CART Fund reminder: let’s continue helping the committee as we transition years so we can maintain our leadership in the District. 

Announcements: Jakob Fahl gave his farewell.

Phase II includes an aquatic center that can accommodate all disabilities, residence facilities that can provide the full experience, and medical facilities that can support every child away from a hospital setting. Fund raising is well on its way and Rotarians were invited to participate and/or contribute.
