Meeting began with the prayer and the pledge.  Rotary Attendance was 25 today, thank you for coming!  Tim made an announcement about the new purchase of property that the town of Southampton made and has plans for new beach access.  Laurie received her new presidential plaque.  Laurie also won the 50/50, but no Jack of hearts, the game continues.   Dermot and Linda received best dressed honors from sargeant Harold Wilson.  In January 1934, Babe Ruth accepted a significant pay cut, signing a one-year contract for $35,000, a reduction of $17,000 from his previous salary, reflecting the impact of the Great Depression, though he remained the highest-paid player in baseball. Diana Ross and the Supremes (originally the Primettes) signed their first recording contract with Motown Records.  George Harrison didn't lose a case in 1974, but the major copyright infringement trial for his hit "My Sweet Lord" (accused of plagiarizing The Chiffons' "He's So Fine") began in 1976, where he was found guilty of "subconscious plagiarism" for copying the tune, a ruling that led to years of appeals and significant financial payouts, though he later acquired the rights to the original song. Happy Days had an 11 season run starting in 1974.  The Beatles broke up at Disney World in 1974.  Our program was Mark Matthews and Mark Antilety from the North Sea Maritime Center.  They talked about the new dream for their existing property on North Sea Rd.  The mission of the North Sea Maritime Center, a 501(c)3 organization at the Historic Tupper Boathouse, is to preserve Southampton's maritime heritage through educational and recreational programs that increase the awareness and relevance of historical and contemporary marine activities.  You can check them out on the web here
