ROTARY RAMBLINGS
DELRAY BEACH ROTARY CLUB
March 18, 2003

Looks like Bill Adams, Vice-president, is now in practice for first position. 
 He did a fine job today presiding over our meeting, in the absence of 
President Archer and President-elect Denkler.  We sure have great leadership 
in our club, don't you agree?

Dave Harden gave a lovely invocation.  Maestro Wally Doud did a terrific job 
leading the chorus, along with Bruce Williams' accompaniment.

Georgina Kerr-Jarrett gave a lovely "dance routine" regarding the stock 
market.  She is such a positive person; stating the market is "hovering" 
today.  

Harvey Brown greeted about seven visiting Rotarians.  Dave Armstrong 
presented Joel Geller, of Abington, MA with our banner.  Bill Adams had as 
his guest today, Chris Sullivan, owner of 3M Window Experts, a new business 
in Delray Beach.  

We had five of our members doing make ups: John Arnold, Lyn Huckle, Leo 
Phillips, Hume Rennick and Dave Harden.  We thank each of you for your 
dedication.

Roy Simon, Sergeant at Arms, collected $127.00 today.  Among that was a 
$50.00 check from George Kientzy for his birthday, even though he was unable 
to attend.  (George, if you think you got out of us singing to you, you are 
wrong!  We are saving it until you return.)  George, Happy Birthday, and 
thanks for your generous donation.

Egon Kurz gave a report from the Sunshine Committee.  He mentioned that Lew 
Currier's sister, Maxine Rice, has passed away, and offered our condolences.  
Also, our dear Ernie Simon is feeling lowly; he's in Bethesda Hospital, Room 
3024.  Ernie, we wish you well!

Dave O'Connell is in charge of the Paint Up Delray Project for our club.  He 
is looking for 12-15 volunteers to paint a house, part of our community 
projects, in conjunction with the city of Delray Beach.  The project is 
Saturday, April 12.  They will meet at 8:00 a. m.; be done by noon.  Come on 
guys, grab a paint brush.  Call Dave, and help out!

Barnie Shuhi, even though she was not well, came to the meeting today to give 
her monthly Rotarian Magazine review.  (She also donated two lovely pairs of 
Rotary earrings, to be raffled at the Bingo Party.)

Today, our guest speaker was introduced by Roy Simon, since Ernie is in the 
hospital.  (He had nothing else to do, so he called Roy to fill in for him.)  
Our speaker was Brandon Cunningham, Director of Corporate Sales, for the 
Marlins!  He also had Bob Eckerd, head of ticket sales with him.  Cunningham 
has a pretty impressive background in sports operations.  He gave us details 
about the team players.  Their opener is scheduled for March 31.  The games 
will be televised on Fox, PAX, and several local radio stations; but there's 
nothing like going out to the ballgame, as Wally Doud can testify.  He led 
the group with the old favorite: Take Me Out To The Ballgame!  The meeting 
ended with Mr. Cunningham "throwing out trivia" and several people winning 
hats and shirts, etc., from the Marlins Team.

REMINDER: THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 6:30 P.M.  BINGO PARTY, ELLIE'S FLAMINGO ROOM.  
It will be a fun evening.  There are many terrific raffle prizes.  If there 
are any coin collectors among you, listen up: Lyn Huckle donated an 
uncirculated  $50.00 Canadian gold coin weighing one ounce.  This will be 
offered as a Silent Auction item at our Bingo Party.  George Kientzy donated 
a "his" and "her" watch.  There are many more goodies to be raffled off.  
This is along with the lucrative winnings of the Bingo games.  If you haven't 
purchased your tickets for the event, please call or E-mail Rel Moorcroft (as 
soon as you finish reading this).  His e-mail is: relmorcroft@aol.com.  His 
phone # is:495-5376.  See you at the Bingo Party!
