What did you miss?

President’s Dinner – Mark your calendar to participate!

As announced at our last Rotary meeting, President Bruce and President Elect Eva are finalizing the dinner scheduled for June 22 at Valleywood Clubhouse for the first time. The Dinner starts at 6 p.m. For those planning ahead, that also means no breakfast meeting on Wednesday, June 24. Hope to see you there for a summertime fun event!

Our fellow Rotarian, Steve Mattson needs us!

Last week Steve discovered he has a brain tumor and will have surgery tomorrow (Tuesday 5/26). You can leave messages for Steve on his Caring Bridge Site (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevenmattson/mystory) since he can have limited visitors and needs rest at this time. Steve has some memory issues in addition to physical problems. His wife, Mary, has had a series of strokes and also is suffering from memory loss, chronic fatigue, and broken ribs.

We should know by Wednesday's Rotary meeting the results of Steve's surgery.

Two areas where you can help. Sharon LaComb has graciously agreed to coordinate the help, so please reach out to her at 952-210-0941 (call or text) or at sharonlacomb@gmail.com.

1. Steve and Mary need meals delivered to their home. A sign up sheet will be sent around on Wednesday at Rotary.

2. Both Steve and Mary need rides to doctor visits and/or rehab. A sign up sheet will be sent around Wednesday at Rotary.

Thank you in advance for being generous with your time and resources. And my thanks to Sharon for the coordination and efforts over the past few days to make sure Steve and Mary have the support they need.

Please keep Steve, Mary and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

May 27 Weekly Raffle Update

For the meeting of May 27, 2015 there are 36 cards and 2 Jokers. The pot stands at $412.

Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot. If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot. If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again. David Kingsbury pulled the Ace of Diamonds on March 18th and is guaranteed at least 1/4 of the final pot.
