Bob Antoniac needs activity on the wine tasting, sell tickets and get donations.
John Donnelly talked about a "Books for Babies" project where childrens books are
given to the parents of newborns thereby promoting Rotary and doing something nice.
There appear to be several ways this could be handled if we choose, work with a
hospital (which one?), partner with a group currently doing this or working through
local pediatricians. An intresting idea, more discussion to come on this.
President Keith talked about the holiday meetings. It was initially determined we would
meet on November 25th. An evening meeting on December 16th is being considered
with the possibility of no meetings on December 23rd and December 30th. More to
come on this.
The club policy on polital speakers was reviewed and determined sitting elected officials
