For
the graphical edition of The Nairator (recommended),
Rotary
Teamwork Saves the Day Iast week was a good demonstration of how dedicated many of the members of our club are and how well we all work together. When we suddenly became aware on Monday that we were responsible for Community Meals that night, many of our members sprang into action and made the event a complete success. Led by Don Beaton, Bernie Clohisy, and Bill Klueber, the troops were rallied, the deserts were obtained and approximately 165 less fortunate people in our community were fortunately fed that evening. Congratulations to all who participated. By the way Terry Beaton, your dad threw you under the bus at the meeting on Thursday and blamed the whole mix-up on you so I guess I will be forced to fine you when you next appear. As I write
this we are expecting a Noreaster this weekend, which is a reminder
that Winter is still very much
with us. Since my
ski vacation comes up a week from now, I am not upset at all
with the forecast.President
Mike What
is in Haverhill’s Future? Ask the Team Sally Cerasuolo-O’Rorke presented Dr. Ann Atkinson who is a consultant to the Team Haverhill community visioning project. The team is looking at possible futures for Haverhill. Dr. Atkinson outlined the history and timeframe of the present project, and the focus group’s renderings. Dr. Atkinson reviewed the working groups which cover16 different areas. She said the outcome is more important than the process by which it is reached. Welcome
Cathy Bresnahan! If at first you don’t succeed, don’t take any more stupid chances. Even with pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training Saturday, we are still awarding our football MVP Rotary Awards – courtesy of our birthday boy, Ken Smith. We welcome our newest member, Cathy Bresnahan, who was inducted with decorum and dignity by Past District Governor Bill Adams. Cathy is the director of the Haverhill Council on Aging, and is a familiar face to many of us. She is also quickly learning about the Rotary fining policies of President Mike. Words of encouragement may cost nothing to give, but they’re priceless to the receiver. So give frequently and abundantly.
