HONORARY MEMBERS
Reddie Prewett
Brett Vernon drew a clear marble this week.
Lindy Wille from the noon Rotary Club visited with us this morning to talk about
a potential joint meeting for Antioch, Delta, Brentwood and Pittsburg on Monday,
March 16th, 2009 at noon. This means we would NOT meet Wednesday morning on March 18th. The joint meeting will be held at Lone Tree with a special
guest speaker, fellow Rotarian Dr. Jorge Pardita from the Aurora, Illinois Sunrise
Club. Dr. Pardita’s topic will be “Culture, Knowledge and Power—Rotary’s Role
in Creating a Global Community.” Dr. Pardita will also be speaking to faculty,
staff and community at LMC later that day. The LMC Foundation is hosting Dr.
Pardita, however, they are asking each Rotary Club for a $125 donation to help
defray costs. This item will be on the board agenda for February 24th.
Lonnie Karste, Brett Vernon, Martha
Goralka, Jeff Warrenburg and Jim Lanter
met to review income and expenses and develop a club budget for 09-10. A finalized
budget will be adopted by the board and then
brought to the membership for review.
President Jeff’s
