Back again!
I thought a little update would be interesting. On Monday January 28th I met with Leslie Frazer who is Chairing the On Site Administration for the District Conference in May. We are working out the AV Equipment details for the Training rooms and Sergeants needs. I followed that up with a meeting that evening with Walter Christen, our District Treasurer to get the District Financial affairs up to date.
Tuesday followed with an Esso meeting (Actual work, what’s that about?) and then a GSE Team meeting that evening. We are moving on with the three teams, but the logistics of travel and timing is very difficult. Chair Murray Forde is doing a great job with his local and district committee and team.
Wednesday was a dentist day and my regular club meeting. It was great to be back with my club for a change. I’m still collecting the make ups though.
Wednesday evening we went to a Humane Society fund raiser. It was a trivia quiz game. A lot of fun, but I don’t know much trivia. They raised around $6,000 that evening.
Thursday morning we went to the Nassau Sunrise Club for two very special events. Firstly I presented PP and now ADG Felix Stubbs with a Foundation banner for achieving the special status of 2nd highest per capita contributions for a Club with $ 432.26 per capita, Grand Cayman Central took 1st place with $454.03 per Capita, St. Croix Mid Isle in 3rd with $398.78 per capita. If you see any of those clubs give them the accolades they deserve!
The second was a very rewarding moment for Carla and I. Our Daughter Ellissa, known as Lissa was inducted as a Rotarian into that great Club. As you can well imagine we are VERY VERY proud. She will be a great Rotarian. She is currently doing a lot of work with animal rescue and with the Humane Society.
That evening we went to a Club Fellowship event at Rotarian Ednol Smiths house. Ednol is ill and shut in but graciously hosts a fellowship event monthly at his home and many club members show up. True Family of Rotary stuff.
Saturday RID Barry Rassin and I met with a group of outstanding local Rotarians who will be helping us with the Zone Institute at Atlantis in October. We went over what local Rotarians would have to do and how they could support the Executive Committee. As usual they have given us all the support we need.
Over the weekend we planned to re-floor one of our Spas. It was quite an undertaking. We had or last customers in the Spa at 5:30 PM and once they left we moved everything, retiled the 3000sq.ft and were back up and operating by 7:00 AM Tuesday morning. What a great job done by Alvin our contractor. What a difference in the place!
Sunday we got a few hours in the boat at Rose Island. The water was cold but the beach and relaxation was outstanding.
Over the past week we had our regular club meeting and the speaker did not show. I was asked to speak, so I did and shared some of the challenges of the District. Wednesday evening we had a District Conference meeting, which went well. We are making some progress now and as time runs out we must continue to do so.
The balance of the week and weekend were spent trying to catch up on emails and home chores. I spent some time at the Humane Society today on a clean up effort. There is a lot of work that needs to be done there, but it is going to start with a good clean up.
We have a couple of days to get our businesses together next week and then we are off to New Smyrna and the Daytona 500. That’s our annual week vacation trip. We stay at a quaint B&B and just enjoy the tranquility. I’ll try to update you from there.
