Today was a very special day for our
club.&nbsp; We had the pleasure of having our newest member, Lyn Huckle
installed.&nbsp; As most of you know, she is the widow of the late Dr.
George Huckle.&nbsp; Mrs. Huckle has been a part of our club for many
years, through Dr. Huckle; she is now carrying on that tradition, by
being an active member. She also donated $50.00 to our club today.&nbsp;
Joyce Lunsford, thank you for sponsoring Lyn into our club. 
 
Jim Pignato served as &quot;emcee&quot; at today's meeting; he also gave
the invocation.&nbsp; It was a special day; the new officers were
installed.&nbsp; Ernie Simon served to install the officers.&nbsp; Gerry
Meeks led the singing. 
Bruce Williams, a special salute to you for your music each week. 
 
Harvey Brown greeted our guests for the day.&nbsp; We had Jeffrey Dennis,
New Providence, Bahamas; Lyn Huckle's daughter, Kay, and Annette Gumm,
Emmett's wife.&nbsp; We welcome each of you.&nbsp; We also had three make
ups; thank each of you.&nbsp; Stormi Norem paid for a banner that we did
not give away. 
 
Fred Bonardi gave the stock market report.&nbsp; At the time, the Dow was
up 14 points, and the NASDAQ was up 5 points.&nbsp; This means it was up
500 points since Friday.&nbsp; He also served as Sergeant at Arms,
collecting an even $100.00. 
 
Jim Blocker and Rich Connell are working on our proposed website.&nbsp;
They passed out a sheet with the proposed contents.&nbsp; It is quite
impressive; think everyone will be impressed as well.&nbsp; Guys, keep us
informed. 
 
President Gumm, (for twelve more days) made a short speech, touching on
some of our accomplishments this year.&nbsp; Among them, he mentioned the
fact that we lost eleven members this year, but gained twelve new
ones.&nbsp; This means we are holding our own.&nbsp; That is quite
remarkable.&nbsp; He touched on the many activities our club was involved
in, and seemed quite pleased with the results.&nbsp; Emmett, we thank you
for your year as president, but also are very pleased that you will
become Assistant District Governor for the clubs of Delray Beach, Sunrise
and Boynton-Lantana Clubs.&nbsp; This is a step up the ladder to serving
Rotary. 
 
President Pat Archer, we salute you.&nbsp; You have been laying the
groundwork for this office; now that you have the torch, the race has
begun.&nbsp; The theme for her year in office will be: C.O. G.
