 This is Rotary lunch  third time around...some mystery key got tapped and
the previous attempts were zapped so this is just the facts, maam...just the facts.
We met
We et.
We also welcomed Gary Cooper, formally inducted as a new member and pinned by
Cheryl Rosen.     Stephen Georgeson came back a second time and took a card...
not the raffle one...but member one.     Deacon Lee Packard regained his memory and  came to accept a check for the Interfaith Clergy group assistance fund.
Incidentally, Nov 3rd is their fund raiser at White Cliffs ...roast or toast Tom Lowe.
Pat Doyle has tickets...$50 per.     Good cause...good guy.
Ed King handed out copies of the revised by-laws.
Joan Day,  good person,  shared her vocational trips on short notice.   She has worked in banking, banking, furniture, banking and is now Manager of Central One
Credit Union in Northboro.  Her husband's job took him (and her) to Connecticut to
California and back to Marlboro.  Joan says she likes helping people,  solving problems and developing relationships...   She shines.
Mark Lessner is polishing up to shine this Tuesday as vocational speaker.

Ron Goodenow and Joan Day, our water nymphs, have scheduled a panel discussion on water...good and bad...for October 14th at the Library from 9:30 to 11:30 am.
Pat Doyle mentioned briefly the ESSEX, student exchange, meeting.   It would be
neat to hear more about this...perhaps on the 29th when the RYLA student(s) will
be with us.
Anniversery on the 5th, the Mottles;   Birthday on the 12th  Laurie Bender
The rest noted next week.

Do keep in your prayers Sharon Berube and her partner,  Cindy Catino, who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.   Friends are setting up a web page on "lotsofhelpinghands" and Doris will advise us when it is up and running so we can
see where we can be of the most support.

Hey!  Don't worry about yesterday...it is done.    Don't  fret about tomorrow...it is not
here yet !    The moment is now...be with it.
