    ANNOUNCEMENTS:

    ♦ LETA KELLEY announced that as a fund-raiser for our backpack program (we pack for 78 children each week with 40 more in need) that on Tuesday, December 7th we will have a soup and bread lunch with a simple sweet to top it off. The usual rate of $10.00 will be charged. The difference in meal cost will be kept by the club to support helping the kids.

    ♦ GREG KAPP announced the Rotary Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign has officially begun. The sign up chart is available for you to sign up on in the back of the room. Our date to ring the bells is December 4th. This year, we have 9 sites, with four two-hour shifts each. We like to have two people per site per shift. You may sign up for multiple shifts if you are available!

    ♦ We know that many of you enjoy Euchre. How many are Trivial Pursuit fans? Let's see who among us is good at this fun game. If you are interested in hosting or participating in an evening of Trivial Pursuit please contact JANE.

    ♦ PRESIDENT DICK reminded us that everyone is on the membership committee. Play your part and bring a new member into our club.

    ♦ TERRY WEST announced that $88 worth of raffle tickets were sold today, bringing the value of the pot to $448.00. The winning number belonged to DENNIS WEIDENAAR! Unfortunately, the Ace of Spades eluded him.

    ♦ On Monday, March 7th the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will feature world famous violinist Isaac Pearlman, a polio survivor who understands the importance of Rotary's mission to eradicate the virus from the face of the earth. Tickets cost $50 - $200 per seat. The reception for Rotarians costs $150.00. Ticket sales to the general public have been postponed to give first chance to Rotarians.

    ♦ TIME Magazine reports a resurgence of polio in Congo with 200 new cases. This came about by dampened down immunizations, a setback for Rotary's efforts, but also a setback for the poor people of Congo.

    ♦ At a future date, District Governor SALIM NAJJAR will share the pictures he took while accompanying the team of doctors and nurses from Riley Children's Hospital who performed heart surgeries in Uganda. The Ugandan hospital staff now has more knowledge on how to repair hearts.
