ROTARY RAMBLINGS
ROTARY CLUB OF DELRAY BEACH
MAY 6, 2003

President Pat Archer presided over our meeting today; Hack Allen offered the 
invocation.  We had the pleasure of the duet of "Jimmy and Wally" leading our 
singing.  Of course, we had the melodic sounds of Bruce Williams on piano.

We had three birthdays being celebrated today: Ernie Simon, donating $78.00; 
Dave Armstrong, donating $20.00; and Dave O'Connell, donating $69.00.  We 
thank each of you and wish you a very Happy Birthday!

Harvey Brown greeted the visiting Rotarians (2), Lou Cucci had his brother 
Nick with him; Jim Blocker had his parents with him; Bruce Galloway had his 
friend, Joe Black, with him.  We had a great group today. 

Doing make ups were David Van Gorp, Sylvia Pecaro, Art Reef and Tom Cook.   
We thank each of you and especially Tom who took the time to do seven make 
ups.  ( I think he was comparing the food with ours.)

Fred Bonardi gave the stock market report, stating the Dow was up 68 points; 
S&P up 9 points; NASDAQ up 28 points.  He was eagerly awaiting the Fed 
Meeting today.

Fred Bonardi served as Sergeant at Arms, collecting a whopping $264.00.  
(Thanks to the birthday boys.)  John Arnold donated $10.00; Wally Doud 
donated $5.00 to tell us good-bye for the summer; Lyn Huckle donated the 
banner today.  (By the way, Lyn looked great; must be a new hairdo!) 

Ken Davis, who is a member of the Boca Noon Wednesday Rotary Club, visited us 
today, distributing flyers about his project, raising funds for Cat Island 
Orphanage.  Last year, Ken visited us, to invite us to his club's first 
Hootenanny, to raise funds; they raised $20,000 and Rotary matched funds, 
resulting in $64,000.  His flyer informed us of all the great things they 
were able to do with this money.  This year, they hope to do the same!  This 
year, the Hootenanny will be held at the Griddle Restaurant, 475 NE Spanish 
River Blvd., Boca.  Date: June 28, 2003; food, entertainment; price: $30.00 
per person.  

Mark Denkler introduced our guest speaker today, Ken Day, Manager of Boca 
Airport.  Mr. Day had with him, Bill Schwartz, who is on the Aviation 
Advisory Board.  One of our members, Harvey Brown, who is an avid pilot, is 
also on one of the airport boards.  

Probably the most important to area residents is noise issues.  Mr. Day noted 
that about 85% of the aircraft flying in and out of Boca Airport is Stage 
Three (quieter aircraft).  They try to keep from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. a no 
fly time.  There is a seven member board composed of State of Florida, Palm 
Beach County and city of Boca Raton residents to analyze and control noise 
issues.  Mr. Day brought it to our attention that from Key West to PBI is an 
extremely busy corridor.  

New and better equipment is being developed and implemented all along.  He 
also states that educating the public to noise pollution is the key to 
problematic issues.  He was very interesting; answered many questions for the 
attendees.

NOTICE: Being published for membership is Robert J. Erickson, Photo 
Instructor Boca High Night School and John Callahan, III, Director of Delray 
Beach Library.

REMINDER: Board of Directors Meeting, Tuesday, May 13, 7:30, a.m., Ellie's 
Marilyn Room (between diner and Flamingo Room).  All members are cordially, 
and encouraged, to attend these meetings.
