Snowbird SPOKES - March 28 |
Snowbird SPOKES - March 28![]() From Tom Ruesink, Sun Tanned Editarian Our Florida snowbird second southern meeting for 2018 was held this past Wednesday March 28. Eighteen (18) members and guest joined together for a great gathering and lunch. (Rhonda, I will send you the member's names later). It was great having in our presence and fresh of the western snow resort Bob and Dee Stickland. One couldn't have asked for a better cooperation from the weather person; temperature was in low 80, our seating was on a covered porch with light breezes coming off the gulf, and we happen to hit the day when they had 2 for 1 drinks special!! Since Gruber wasn't here to record this event, just an observation on part of this editor. It was noted that from the men's end of the table all had non-alcohol drinks!! Seating arrangement for these gathering have the tables divided with men at one end and women at other end. Judging by their spirit of conversations, that perhaps a few at other end of table (women's) took advantage of this drink special!! Much conversation regarding activities we all have been involved with this past few months. Many of us have had opportunity in sharing this time with visiting friends and relatives and even a few visited other Rotary club meetings!! We all concluded that the winter days flew by quickly and that for the majority of us our travels will soon be taking us north. So by the end of April, majority of this group will be back sharing bread with rest of our home club members. As usual, the hat was passed collecting fines. This collection will be added into appropriate fine collection basket in due time. (Providing it's not needed to assist one's cost in returning home!!) Good time was enjoyed by all, "meeting" broke up after 2 pm. After which several members visited Larry and Midge Lewis' elegant winter retreat. That's all for this year Tom As Don Hixson writes--something about license to stretch the truth!! ![]() |

Program:
Our program today was two-fold.
Karen, provided an update on the South Haven Area Diversity Coalition which has been a part of our community since 2003. The coalition has successfully fostered a sense of community among our diverse population. Over the years the group has sponsored stimulating conversations on topics such as our cultural differences, gun control, sexual orientation, immigration, tolerance and end of life issues. She invited topic ideas for future events. President Art presented a $250 SH Rotary grant in support of the Coalition’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. event in which 2,000 pounds of rice was repackaged for our community’s food pantries. Several of our Rotarians participated in the MLK event.
Marty Graber brought us up-to-date on his work in Kenya. He opened by expressing his appreciation for the support he has received from Rotary. Marty also paid tribute to John Harding for his commitment to the project. He explained that phase two on the construction of the health facility is nearly complete and that he hopes during his upcoming visit to install the health-care equipment now on-site in storage containers.
We closed the meeting with the “Four Way Test”.
Next Week’s Program:
Our program is to be announced.
Next Week’s Greeters:
Mark Odland and Paul Hix.
