Be adventurous, visit a club.

Do you think about rotary while you are traveling?  Did you know that the Danville Rotary Club had banners to exchange with other clubs?  Frequently, Brad puts out the partition that has a bunch of banners on it.  Where did they come from?  Ask Brad for a banner to exchange.  I did.  Thursday morning I am headed to Savannah, Ga to attend a breakfast club.  You can find their website here.  I have not done make-UPS at many clubs.  I am looking forward to visiting this club.  You are never far from friends. 

Very happy to visit the Savannah club this morning.   President Dodie got things rolling at 7:30 am.  David Lagessee was introduced as Chairman of the Rotary Pay It Forward.  They put on with the help of 10 other rotary clubs.  It is called Rotary Play It Forward. 
It reminds me that there are a lot of talented people in Rotary. 

We will be back in the swing of things next week.  Happy Easter!

Son of a Beach

Yes, the editor is on vacation.  However, due to his deep respect for each of you and for Rotary, I press on.  (I am writing this while lounging on the beach.  Pictures included). 

Marty gave a readers digest version of his ten minutes of fame.  But really, we wanted to listen to his speaker.  Secretary of State Connie Lawson was our guest.  She talked about her new appointment to the SOS office.  Connie is responsible for voting, business id's, car dealerships and investor protection.  (guess that makes her Rex and Greg's boss...lol).

There are several people who are looking to fill her Senate seat, including our very own Dennis Dawes. 



Last week was a Rotary Week.  It started with PETS and the District Conference.  Then last week I visited the Avon Club and the Plainfield Club both on the same day.  Greg Zusan is the President Elect (Pictured below).  One Wednesday morning he was running the show.  The Avon Club does not have a meal and they meet at 7:00am.  You have to love Rotary to make it there on time.  They meet at the Avon Town Hall.

Then off to Plainfield for their lunch meeting.  Charlie Jones was also in attendance.  You have to watch the video of their greeting of Charlie.  You can watch it here.  The program for the Plainfield Rotary was one of their members and his wife.  They taught the club to Polka and other Austrian dances.  The Plainfield Club meets at the Sugar Grove Senior Living Center on Wednesday.  They eat at noon.  

While I am lounging on the beach at Tybee Island, Ga.  I will be attending the Downtown Savannah Rotary Club.  They have a breakfast buffet that I hear is real good.  I will take some pictures and blog about what they are doing since I will not be able to attend our regualar meeting.  Toes in the sand!!!!
