Marcia Made It

Today our Assistant Governor, Wilma Shackleton, attended our meeting.  Wilma had nice things to say about how our club is ran and how much fun we all have.  We had three interactors in attendance.  John Dryer, from the Plainfield club, was a guest as well.  Jade Gruner had a guest too, Nate Mishler.

Marcia was our host and speaker today.  She was informed that she was the host about 10 minutes before she was on.  She pulled out all the stops and nailed it.  If you don't know, Marcia has a lot to say about everything.  This is because she is part of almost everything.  Her roll at the Chamber of Commerce and the Town Counsel make her in the know.  She shared information about the events of the night before at the Chamber of Commerce Community Award Banquet.  Rotarians were plentiful.  Bob Pearcy was nominated for Senior Citizen of the Year and Jennifer McPeak won the Business Leader of the Year Award.  When Marcia changed hats, she told us about things that the town are doing with sidewalks and building that is happening on the eastside of town.

Next week will be our Christmas Luncheon.  It will be held at Westbridge Church on Mackey Road.  Then on the 27th we will be having our Board Election.  There is still room for Rotarians that might want to join us in Naples for the Ziggy Dicks BBQ Festival.


Special Thanks to NSSB for pulling off a great food drive.  There will be some happy families that will be needing this food.  Please consider continuing to support the local food pantry   They are in need of food all year long.

This weekend is a very special weekend.  This weekend the "Cromissioner" and I go head to head again for the second time in Fantasy Football.  For the keeping score at home, I was the only Male to put the hurt on Seth.  I think this calls for a game day by game day report.  As I write this before the Thursday game we each have one player playing tonight.  I am projected to get 147 points and Seth 146 points.  It will be close, but I am sure that when the chips are down, his ego will be totaled just like his Van.  If you would like his point of view, you will have to ask him since he stopped writing.

All About Football

Ron Monts was the program chair last week.  Eric Ivie was our speaker.  Eric is a contributor to Yahoo Sports and is the owner of Red Zone Writing.  Eric is covering all sports, but has a niche for Arena Football.  Eric gave us a brief overview of what Arena Football is and how it is different from playing in the NFL.  Suzanne was very interested in hiring Eric to manage her Rotary Fantasy Football Team.  Eric has press passes for most Arena Football games.  The games run from March to August so that they do not overlap that of the NFL.  Most players are paid about $400 per game with a $50 win bonus.  Most of these guys play as a second job.  You can learn more about writing, football or Arena Football by following Eric from his website.

Congratulations to all Rotarians for bringing guests to our Rotary meeting this week.  Visitors included:  Mike Larr (Huntington Bank), Duane Lane (Lane Reality and LPM Properties), Luke Stevenson (Running for School Board), and Mandy Shelly (Danville Chiropractic).  Please get an application to each of these individuals if they have an interest in joining.

This Labor Day weekend was all about football.  A few Rotarians and their spouses attended the Purdue football game.  There was a visit from Purdue Pete and Olympic Gold metal winner, David Boudia.  A big thank you to Charlie and Jennifer Jones for their hospitality before, during and after the game.

Don't forget that all Rotarian are able to attend the board meeting that will be Thursday morning at 7:30am at Court House Grounds.  It counts as a make up.

Yes, the hat says Miller Time... LOL!
