Good crowd of 25 proud Rotarians visited us this week. We had one guest Ryan Nelson of Lord Lane Newsletter. I suggest his newsletter it tells you what's going on in Southampton and local areas. Vicki made our Holiday Party announcement 12/12. Robert Gill made an announcement for next week's packing of the Thanksgiving Boxes. Next week at Hampton Road Fire Station. Definitely looking forward to packing the boxes and heading upstairs for lunch. The kids have been busy this week packing the boxes. Pictures are below. The rotary wheel was definitely turning this week with everyone who's involved with the planning of this annual event. It's great to experience the teamwork that this club is known for. I've reached out to 27east, and I will get everything over to district when everything is handed in. Travis was our sargent. Coincidently also winning the 50/50 and finding the Jack of Hearts, Congrats to Travis Corwin for winning our latest drawing. So we reset with a new deck next week. We learned about Martin Strel and his accomplishments on swimming entire rivers. We were also fined for liking pickles. Travis also shared a podcast he's been listening to about kid's curiosities and a program dedicated to earthworms. Our program was Debbie & Bill from Gregg's Wings. They discussed their amazing contributions to childhood cancer. They told us about their golf outing and where some of the money is used for at the Cancer Center for kids. I found it interesting that they painted the doctors face on the wall in all of the different rooms. Check out the photo gallery of the kids decorating the boxes

Our meeting began with the prayer and the pledge. Tom had his son Brendon as a guest. We are a GO! for our Holiday Party on 12/12. Flyer is up. Check the newsletter for more information. Mark Hannon requested that we decided to invite our marketing specialist Angie and a guest to attend our holiday party for free, and was accepted by all members. If you have not sent in your Septemberfest money in, please do so it is $210 for the required 10 tickets. Karen Acker was our sargent, Michael Sullivan won the 50/50 picked the Ace of Diamonds. Reminder to everyone, to PLEASE VOTE! In 1978 John Carpenter directed the movie Halloween. Why did the monster go to the bar? For the boos. Why do girl ghosts diet? To keep their goolish figures. How do you know if a mummy is sick? They can't stop caughing. Our guest was Medhat Allam , a local doctor who started a charity, what is now Operation International . I was very impressed listening to Medhat tell stories of his visits to poverty stricken countries to perform surgeries. His charity now has 24 chapters, serving about 80 million people. They cover every medical area of expertise. They have designated teams in different area of the world. And they do one week missions to help people. Very inspiring charity. The movie clip that we saw about the surgery that they were unable to do was very emotional and gave us some interesting perspective on how difficult it can be to deliver the news good or bad.
Meeting began with the prayer and the pledge. Ed's wife Joan was visiting us today. Vicki spoke about the XMAS party which is a go on 12/12/24 at 6pm. Flyer coming soon. Party will be at 75 Main. Karen won the 50/50 but didn't pick the jack of hearts. Paul stepped in a sargent and we played Super Trivia. Table 1 answered the most questions correctly. I think the game was well received. Some challenging questions in there, but the visuals definitely stumped the rotary faithful. I Promise to work on my routine an as i missed some important steps, as i was concentrating on the game. Inspired by the great Lynda D, who used to do this when we needed sargent. Bonnie Grice was our program, she spoke about her work in radio for over 30 years . I worked at the student radio station adjacent to Bonnie for a few years while attending Long Island University: Southampton. She spoke about her theater project Boots on the Ground which is being performed at the Southampton Cultural Center. I'm amazed on the amount of events that they are doing at the cultural center as they continue to be the leader in giving back to the art community. They are holding their annual fundraiser on November 9th from 6-9pm. Tickets are $115, and $50 for people under 29. You can hit Read More and it will show you all the ways that you can support Boots On the Ground.
Meeting began with the prayer and the pledge. We had Chicken Franchaise, Mashed Potatoes and dinner rolls for lunch. The 12/12 Holiday party is officially a go at 75 Main, price is $62/person. Alexandra was here and she brought two friends with her. We had a returning guest Maria. Mark Hannon acknowledged everyone's work on Septemberfest, Alexis told us how crazy volunteering was. She embraced the "Yes" spirit and was able to conquer all. Paul Henneforth picked the winning ticket, Ed Simioni. Ed did not pick the Jack of hearts. Travis was our sargent and talked about National Pasta Day started in 1154. It was Evil Kanevl's birthday who's real name was Robert Kreg. Seamus got fined for being late. We were caught up to speed on birds. I got my quiz question wrong. Vulchers and Seaguls travel at 37,000 feet. A Krobar is a good way to break into a birdhouse. Most birds migrate to Wisconsin. Tom G gave a happy dollar as he made a new friend by approaching a new person on a ferry. Tom will also serve as MC for Veterans Day. There is a 10am meeting on Saturday to talk about the Southampton Sewer Project. Rachel Destephano was our program from Amaryllls Farm. She told us about her passion horses and educated us on horses and the life the live. Some of it was sad . This 501c is responsible for saving 35 horses in the area with 5 locations. The horses after 20 years of life require a lot of attention. We were educated about the horses life. Rachel was nervous and a little uncomfortable speaking to us but she was extremely passionate about her work and I'm glad that we got to hear her story. I learned a lot about horses that i wasn't aware of. I hope we get to invite her back to rotary in the future.
Our meeting began with the prayer and the pledge. We had 2 new prospective members Maria and Yana. We met Yana through a rotary inquiry via our website. She was eager to learn about everything that we do. Also spoke with Maria about her, and her profession. It was great to sit at the head table with Lauri, and Alexis to share what we do and learn about new people, as we try to increase our membership. I encourage everyone to reach out to new faces and say hello. Lauri spoke about our golf outing, and the great day we were blessed with. Alexis spoke about Septemberfest kickoff party and her experience being that it's a lot of work. But usually we shined Friday night. Be sure to say a big Thank you to Mark Hannan, and Alexis for the wonderful rotary spirit they showed by throwing a great party. We would also like to thank Angie from Callio Marketing as she was responsible for the flyer and thank you that was in the Southampton Press this week. Guest Maria won the 50/50. Paul and Karen split table stakes. The Jack of hearts is still alive in the deck, still early in the going. Grover Cleveland ran 3 times for the president. William Jennings Bryant was known famously for being the prosecuter in the Scopes Monkey Trial. We carefully towed the line with politics today as we talked about presidential feuds. Octoberfest was created not out of love for harvest but by King Ludwig's wedding who was the king of Bovaria. A clever fine for the prayer was issued to Vicki. Our program was Gigi's playhouse, a program i investigated online and thought it was different and interesting. Their mission (taken from their website) To change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all. Great energy delivering their message today and it sounds like they are doing some great work in Patchogue and covering Long Island. We donated $250. I hope they enjoyed their rotary experience, i hope to have them back in the future as a guest program

What a beautiful day for our bi annual golf outing at Shinneock. Today i was the assistant on photos. We took everyone's picture and we took them to CVS. Had them printed and returned with them to put them in frames. I learned a lot about one of the important duties that makes the event a success. It was great to see some of our Rotarians taking the challenge of one of the most difficult courses in the world. The outing was followed by a reception with drinks and a delicious spread of food. The slideshow of pictures for the day can be found down below

I was happy to understand why i wanted pancakes yesterday morning as it was National Pancake Day. This is the day we celebrate Johnny Appleseed for his many accomplishments.

Spoke highly about is experience as president and how rewarding the experience is. He wants to give away more schlorships. His mentor is his dad who ran a farmstand back in the day.
