18 Rotarians & guests attended today. Kathy Johnson was the proud host of her husband, buzz, and their daughter, Regina. Buzz & Regina delivered the program after lunch.
Several Happy $$ were collected as well as several announcements:
President Jim and Tim Baroni gave an update on the Spaghetti Dinner plans: We had amended the serving time from 4pm- 8pm to 1pm - 8pm in order to accommodate the Copper dog 150 racers . We sold 55 tickets at the door for that even! The works shifts were reviewed with a team of 5 doing setup on Thursday, a team of 9 covering the first shift on Friday (12 - 5) and a similar number expected for cleanup. Rotarians were reminded to bring desserts and the selections were amazing.
After lunch, Buzz & Regina Johnson gave a presentation on their new business: Snow country Greenhouse. They have developed a greenhouse that will stand up to the Keweenaw winters and snow cover without collapsing. SnowCountry Greenhouse offers various pre-set size products as well as the capability to customize to your specifications. Construction is with Western Cedar and 8mm thick polycarbonate that provides the light transition efficiency of a single pane window. Purchasers need to provide their own foundation so the structure can be properly anchored.
Buzz got into this business due to a long family history of gardening. The greenhouse design is estimated to add 1 month to the start of the growing season and extend the end by 1 and a half months. In other words, a potential 8 month season.
Rotarians who are interested can contact Buzz or Regina by email at rejohnsoncontracting@starband.net or by phone at 906-296-0289.
See you on the 17th, at the IRISH TIMES. WEAR GREEN LASSIES AND LASSIES.
