Weekly News/Highlights/Comments  

Guests were Linda Borror, Carol Sladen, Georgia Talcott, our Interactor at the High School. Two visiting Rotarians—Erika from Hingham and Jim Peterson and his friend Leslie from Benton harbor, MI. They have been on a 3 month sailing odyssey from Annapolis to everywhere and stopped in Scituate Harbor to see the sights.

Important celebration dates: Bob Newhart age 74, Raquel Welch age 63, and Alden and Connie’s 60th wedding anniversary. They are away enjoying some family time, but we’ll catch him in fine time.

Happy/Sad Bucks from Bart, for his new adopted grandchild (the 7th) coming from NYC on Friday, Ben for seeing his grandchildren in Stockbridge after a long hiatis (withdrawal symptoms), Walter Heller sharing his scratch ticket winnings, and Jim Peterson thankful for a friendly Rotary break on terra firma . So what’s up with Walter winning 3 times in a row? We’ll keep him in bar next week til after the ticket is pulled. It’s nice that he’s sharing.

President Bart wants notice of those going to White’s in Westport on 9/20 and any travelers to Bermuda in November—they should be cleaned up by then from hurricane Fabian. Also, he’s set up a lunch Wednesday at Jaimie’s, Marshfield, to determine interest in a Marshfield Club, and getting some serious response. All members are invited to come join him. Watch cable tv in Marshfield on Tuesday 7:30-8:30, Scituate on Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:00.

It was nice to see Georgia Talcott who is our connection with the high School. She is interested in setting up a RotarAct Club there, and that would be a fine feather in our cap. Walter Driscoll was our previous RotarAct person.

The Board met this week and reports the following fund raising: Phone book gross $56,000 Pancake Gross $2400. What a fantastic bit of work on behalf of the phone book works, and pancake flippers. They are interested in scheduling a walkathon for October for further contributions. They are also working on finding aTwin Club using our plethora of international connections in Holland(Bart), Germany(Dietrich), Hong Kong and France(Loic).

Many good wishes for a comfortable recovery for Joe Goodrow who had some surgery this week. You might call it minor, but it looks major.

Please think about the health screening, go to lunch in Marshfield on Wednesday, and BE THERE at the Jenkins School on Saturday, 11:00 – 2:00. Next week is a visit from Sue O’Brien and her poetry.
