THANK YOUS

Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers sent during my recent health setback. It is such a vivid daily reminder of how lucky I am in so many respects. I fully appreciate the many cards, calls, positive thoughts, and prayers and look forward to being back with you very soon. JERRY MC CARTHY

I should like to express to Rotary my sincerest thanks and appreciation for the very thoughtful gift of chrysanthemums. They are beautiful, and have brought me great enjoyment. My physical therapist tells me that the goal is to get me off crutches in 10 days, so things are looking up. Hope to see you all again soon. DAVID BRIDGES

ANNOUNCEMENTS

There is a 1940/41 Lafayette Rotary Club directory available to view at the back table for a couple of weeks, if anyone is interested.

New Directories are available. Please pick up yours.

SMALL GROUP DINNER: The next dinner will be Thursday, October 10, 2002 at Oscar and Bev Hopkins' home at 6:30 P.M. The cost is $8.00 per person. Reservations may be made by contacting Martha Chiscon.

Watch for an Eradicate Polio Raffle to begin in the next week or two. It is a 50/50 Raffle where half will go to Eradicate Polio and half will go to a drawing in our club. It is hoped that this will be a fun fundraiser!

ROTARY logo or souvenir items purchased to provide a display for the Board of Directors to choose from are available for sale at meetings. First come, first served. Don't miss this opportunity to own a license plate, a paperweight, or a framed 4-Way Test.

There has been some confusion over badge placement in the box. Due to members coming and going over the years, the alphabetic order is only loosely maintained. The box will be re-ordered in due time. You are reminded that the number of the slot where your badge belongs is to the left of the slot.

NEW MEMBERS: DAVE FILMER introduced JACK KELLEY to the club. JACK is a surgeon at Arnett Clinic. CHRISTA KECK introduced LETA KELLEY, JACK'S wife and an active Community Volunteer. They live at 1420 Ravinia Road, West Lafayette, IN 47906, phone (765) 463-9690. Both have been practicing "Service Above Self" both locally and internationally for many years.
