Kevin Grogan introduced our two newest members, Tony Bernados, President of the Augusta Chronicle and Chronicle Media, and Wesley Brown, Director of Development for Westminster Schools of Augusta.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- President Leland called on Jeff Simless for an update on our weekly football pick’em. We had 48 participants in week 4. Several folks did not get the weekly email and it was suggested that if you do not receive the email by noon on Tuesday please email Ashley Duren or Jeff. Our week 4 winner was Paul Wade who picked 9 out of 11 games correctly and won in a 3-way tiebreaker. Susan Rice remains our overall leader at 75%.
- Keeping with the sports theme, the club recognized and congratulated the Atlanta Braves for winning their division. It has been a long time since they rolled off 11 straight division titles.
- President Leland called upon Leigh Porterfield to discuss our October 15 meeting. Instead of our usual lunch program, we will meet from 5:30-7:30 in the same location and will enjoy a wine and craft beer tasting along with live music. More info will follow and everyone is asked to RSVP to Leigh.
- Dustin Young reminded everyone to use the club website, DacDb to update your personal information including a current picture. Anyone needing assistance should call him.
- Scott Sidle invited everyone to the upcoming performance of “Anything Goes” being performed by the Augusta Players. Rotarians will receive a 10% discount for the upcoming shows this weekend.
PROGRAM:
President Leland called on Ann Catherine Murray to introduce our speaker, Maestro Dirk Meyer, Music Director for the Augusta Symphony.
Mr. Meyer gave the club an update on the upcoming concert series, which includes the Family Concerts in Columbia County, the Pops Series at the Miller Theater, and the Symphony Series. He also included information about the new app that you can use during the performance to enhance your experience. The Symphony Series will include six distinct shows with each show centered around a common theme. His presentation was excellent and included excerpts from the various shows. His passion was evident and those who could stay a little longer enjoyed a first class sampling of what to expect at the shows.
REMINDER:
Our next meeting will be October 1 and our speaker will be our new District Governor.
The meeting was adjourned with the Four Way Test.
