Friday Program:
Apparently, MapQuest baldly states that you can get to the Glendale Country Club by simply heading east on Main Street from downtown Bellevue. Perhaps by helicopter but not by car. Coach Resler will be rescheduled in early 2008 and will be provided by Rourke O’Brien with a better map.
Bob Bowen gave the following invocation and led in the pledge of allegiance.
Morris Kremen introduced visiting Rotarians and guests.
President Phil presided over the induction of Diane Gamache, BBRC’s newest member. Diane will hold the classification of "CPA/internal Audit." Diane's sponsor, Madeline Gauthier, helped President Phil with the induction. As it turns out Diane was a friend of Madeline’s sister. Diane is from Yakima and attended WAZZU. She enjoys golf and jewelry making and has grandchildren. Welcome aboard, Diane. RI Foundation Update With the help of Kim Shrader, Margie Burnett and Dick Brown, Cary held a drawing for prizes for those BBRCers who have made their contribution or commitment. Ruben Ladlad is now the proud owner of a basket of books, compliments of Madame Librarian Jeanne Thorsen; Jim Carney is now the proud owner of a basket of coffee things, compliments of Margie Burnett; and Wayne McCaulley is the very proud owner of a stunning necklace, provided by Steve Luplow. Wayne again demonstrated his grace by not modeling his new necklace as many of the members were still eating their breakfast. Student of the Month: Nathan Schaeffer
Nathan sports a 3.87 grade point average, with many AP classes. He is the captain of the tennis team and has been a varsity team member the last three years. He is looking forward to college next year.
Priceless Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table ... and a single red rose! Jack sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all cleaned and pressed. Jack looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror, and notices a note on the table: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you!" He stumbles into the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son ... what happened last night?" "Well, you came home after 3 AM, drunk and out of your mind. You broke some furniture, threw up in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door." "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me!" His son replies, "Oh, THAT! Well, when Mom helped you to the bedroom last night and tried to take off your pants, you screamed, 'Lady, leave me alone! I'm married!'"
