Business Meeting, September 5, 2007

Attendance: 22 members and 7 guests, another good turnout.

Guests were Mike Hauswirth, Linda Lowell, Ernie and Edith Neiderer, Dave and Linda Grahek, and Ass't. District Governor (from the Houghton club) Bob Sharkey.

The treasurer's report was accepted and the minutes from the previous meeting were approved.

Eva reported that a total of 520 Tamburitzan tickets were sold of which 229 were by the club members. Dan took top honors by selling 78 tickets and thereby won two tickets to the Calumet Theatre. So our goal for next year should be at least 520 and it is hoped a good deal more.

Eva then announced that she has formed two committees. The first, "Fund Raising Ideas,"
is chaired by Lucy and Jim. The second, "Budget Overhaul," is chaired by Patsy, Eva, and Kevin. Anyone wishing to serve on one or both of these important committees will be welcomed with open arms.

A lusty birthday song for Lucy (9/12) and Peter (9/28) was rendered.

After a round of Happy Dollars, the most spectacular of which was Tom Scanlon's donation of 31 happy dollars to mark his enjoyment of having such good friends in the CLK Rotary.

The fifty-fifty drawing of $85 was won by Ethan.

Governor Bob Sharkey announced that our 4-club group (CLK, Hancock, Ontonagon, and Houghton) is looking for an international project and it will probably be involved with a club in Bolivia. Additionally, he reminded members that the 4-club District Governor's dinner will be held the the Spica Restaurant in Houghton on October 15 at 6 p.m. Among other things, there will be Paul Harris Fellowships awarded at that time. Last year, the CLK had a great turnout for the dinner and it is hoped we can do even better this time.

Upcoming Programs Chairs:

September 12, Heather Store
September 19, Phil Smythe

See you next week.
