Regular Meeting, December 19, 2007

IMPORTANT ITEM: Our annual Christmas dinner will be held at the Irish Times on Friday, December 21 with cocktails at 6 and dinner thereafter. If you want to attend, please call Andy immediately – repeat, immediately – at 296-0433 to make your reservation. We hope you will attend.



The 13 members and 1 guest (Jim Cone, Sue's son) that attended today’s Rotary Luncheon and Meeting were treated to a performance by the 16-member Calumet Jazz Band, under the direction of Scott Veenstra. The jazz band is a 2-year old program for credit at the high school. The place was really jumping as many of the performers took their turn improvising a riff.

The whole affair, which included lunch for the band members, was sponsored by Tom Liljigren and much appreciated. A hearty “thanks” to you, Tom.





HELP!! There I growing concern district wide over the dramatic drop in attendance at Rotary meetings and functions and CLK Rotary is no exception. It is troubling and deserves serious thought by everyone. If you have any insights into this, please bring them to the meeting and voice them.

Meantime, have a great Christmas and we’ll see you on Friday evening and also next week.


Andy gives the treasured Rotary mug to Scott Veenstra as a token of our appreciation for the wonderful performance.
