ROTARY RAMBLINGS
ROTARY CLUB OF DELRAY BEACH
February 4, 2003
We sure packed that banquet hall today! We had a full house of fellow
Rotarians and guests. President Pat Archer presided over the meeting. Bill
Adams (the real one) asked for a moment of silence, to pay respects to our
astronauts lost in the tragedy this week. As he called each one's name, a
chill came over the room. It was very moving for all of us.
Jimmy Weatherspoon, back as song leader, lead us in favorites, Home on the
Range and Smile. It sounded like there were a few coyotes in the room!
Bruce Wenzel greeted all our guests. There were about twelve visiting
Rotarians. We also had many guests, such as Bill and Charlotte Adams' son
Tyler, who has just returned from a trek all over Europe (and more). I think
we should have him as guest speaker in the future. We also had Jeff Anstis,
who has recently moved his business to Delray Beach. He is a prospective
member.
We had many make ups this week. Among them is Lou Cucci, Dave Harden, Dave
Van Gorp, Hume Rennick and Jim Atchison. (I think Jim has been cruising for
weeks.) Thank each of you for doing these make ups. It helps keep our club
at the top in attendance.
Leo Phillips paid for the banner he presented to Rick Kaufman, of Burlington,
Ont., who gave our club his banner in return.
Fred Bonardi regrettably gave the stock market report. Today it was down 152
points at noon. Hang in there Fred, it has to get better!
Sergeant at Arms, Tony Allerton collected $173.00 today. Of course, $77.00
was donated by Lyn Huckle for her birthday. (She was paying off her IOU.)
Gensie Bingham, one of our snowbirds, held the winning ticket to draw for the
"green hat" which is now up to $250.00. It is really getting lucrative now.
Rich Connell was featured in the Sun-Sentinel this week. I tried to gain
access to the story, to no avail. I will try to have it for you next week.
I hear it is quite a story.
Egon Kurz gave us a report on our former member Gene Webb. Sounds like he is
freezing in North Carolina.
Don Thorpe, DVM, had his book, Volunteers for Glory, a book about Civil War
History, at our meeting today. It certainly caught the interest of some of
the history buffs in our group. He made donations to the club, on his sales.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Community Potluck Dinner, chaired by Lula Butler will be
held at Old School Square this next Wednesday, at 6:00 p.m. Our club will be
servers; we need two more people. Servers should arrive around 5:30 p.m. It
is a fun evening for all.
Wine Tasting Party, March 1, Old School Square, in Orchard View Room.
Tickets are $45.00.
Jim Blocker, who is our computer expert, is offering 30 minutes computer tech
help, for a $40.00 donation to our club. His phone number is: 561-638-3402.
I would also like to mention the notoriety of Ernie Simon, in the play Other
People's Money, showing at the Delray Beach Playhouse through February 16.
It is a riot; some of his lines "poke fun at lawyers." It is so funny coming
from a real life attorney and former Judge. He rolls his eyes, as though he
can't believe it is coming out of his mouth. He's a born actor, no wonder he
is so good in the courtroom.
Wally Doud had the pleasure of introducing our guest speaker, Rob Moreland,
Director of Fire Rescue of Delray Beach. Rob has been with the Fire
Department for 25 years. He was a paramedic for three years, heading up a
group of twelve.
He spoke on Sudden Cardiac Arrest, imploring us to call 911 in all these
emergency cases. They are well trained, and time is of essence. There is
usually a four minute response to these calls. He explained Cardiac Arrest,
Heart Attacks, and Strokes to the audience. In each case, don't wait; it's
better to get help and not need it, than to wait; waiting can be deadly.
Recently, our Fire Rescue Team gained national recognition for our program in
this city. This team teaches volunteers to use the AED equipment; including
more than 80 trained in our police department.
Rob Moreland is a well trained man in his field. Holding the interest of his
audience, he was very informative; awakening the possibility of saving
someone's life who was in attendance today. Thank you Rob for being in
Delray Beach!
Next Week: Our speaker will be Digby Bridges, a former member of our Rotary
Club. He has interesting information for us.
Rel Moorcroft has asked me to notify all that he will have copies of the
Rotary Ramblings in the front foyer, on the badge table, for all those
wanting copies.
