PROGRAM:
President Leland called on Commissioner Jeff Simless to explain the format and the rules of our upcoming football pick-em that will start in about a week. Following his report, the Commissioner kicked off our First Annual Rotary Tailgate by introducing our Head Referee Gene McManus and giving us the ground rules for the tailgate.
The crowd was entertained, and in some cases, educated about the history and rivalry of the various teams represented. There was also a little trash talking between some of the more highly anticipated gridiron contests.
The room was very festive with football decorations throughout thanks to the Family of Rotary Committee. Club members also took the opportunity to show their support for their favorite team by dressing in shirts, hats, pants, and jerseys. Overall, a good time was had by all. At the end of the tailgate, Brad “Role Tide” Means bested Leland “How Bout them Dawgs” Malchow and earned the award for most school spirit.
REMINDER:
There will not be a meeting on September 3 because of the Labor Day holiday. Our next meeting will be September 10.
The meeting was adjourned with the Four Way Test.
