President Barr called upon Bill Danielson to open the meeting with a word of prayer followed by the pledge of allegiance. Darren Bouknight, Sergeant- at-Arms, then introduced the visitors. Ben Herritage introduced his daughter and Zek announced that Bob Berry 20 year with the club.

Zek continued the meeting with the “table to table” happy dollar. Lynn Campbell and Si Amick gave a happy dollar to announce their wives’ birthdays. Bob Berry topped the happy dollar with his wedding band story which was short of a miracle. Bob, this is proof that your marriage was destiny.

Joel Collins reminded us of the “Constitution Day Program” which will be aired on September 18, 2009 at 2:00. Please ask Joel what channel as I don’t remember if it was announced. President Ginny reminded us all to continue supporting the Cart Fund which supports Alzheimer’s research. Jim Wellman announced that the Okra Strut was just around the corner and we would be manning a ticket booth this year. Please sign up as we need 12 people. Also, we will not be doing the pictures with Okra Man, but individual are welcome to do their own. Any members with young children are welcome to ride the float in the parade.

Rotary youth exchange training will be September the 17^th. Please sign up…..

Darren Bouknight gave a wonderful classification speech. It is always nice to learn more about the personal lives of our members.

Our speaker was Chief Buck of the Irmo Police Department. It hard to believe that little Irmo has 25+ officers.

President Barr then closed the meeting.
