Reporter – Si Amick

President Molly called the meeting to order. Scott Moseley provided the invocation and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Lyman Whitehead provided the Health and Happiness which always helps us start our day with a smile. Kelly Pain was in attendance with several Interact students. Thank you, Kelly for your efforts in getting the students here each Wednesday morning. Great to have them!

Chip Huggins is scheduled for surgery at Providence Hospital on Friday, December 8th. Our prayers are with Chip and his family for his speedy recovery.

Parking at the Cotton House has been a problem, but remember we can park next door and enter through a back door. This should help tremendously.

Molly noted that our community project for December is to provide heaters to Hank Chardos of Homeworks to be distributed to people in need. On December 7th, The Board approved the purchase of 4 heaters.

On December 20th John Adair will be providing a Christmas Cantata for our listening pleasure at our weekly meeting. Our Christmas Social will be held on December 13th at the home of Joel Collins.

Harry Hafer was introduced as a new member of our club by Harold Crawford. Harry is Past President of the Pisgah Forest Rotary Club in North Carolina.

Judy Johnson had asked Molly to leave this meeting open for her to present on “Service Above Self” and Judy did a wonderful job. She shared with us her life as a child which captivated all present. Her point was that if not for the special people in her community, willing to give their time to make a difference, things may have been very difficult for her.

Once Judy had our attention we were putty in her hands …before we knew it, we were all signed up to work the upcoming Art Auction. This is a difficult project to organize and pull off and I know Judy appreciates everyone that came to her aid. If you have not signed up for a committee please do so!!!!

And don’t forget her 80-20 presentation. How many times did you stand?????

Great job Judy!
