The Tri-Town RotaNews - December 20, 2006
|
Rotarians O'er the World, You Lead the Way!
Commissioned to commemorate the visit of Donna Jean Wayman, Rotary International District Governor, District 7930, to the Topsfield, Boxford and Middleton Rotary Club, Massachusetts, USA, on September 6, 2006.

President John rang the bell and Joe Carroll opened the meeting. Reflecting on last week's mention of the Four Way Test, what you think and what you believe makes a difference in the community in which we lived and in the world. Joe compared the Words which all Rotarians live by to Saint Paul's letter to the Philippians which stated, "whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."
Visiting Rotarians and Guests:
There were no visitors or guests today.
Make Ups:

Announcements
President John had few announcements.
- The Spofford School sent us thank you note for the atlases.
- As a result of the mini auction of the items donated by "Save on Life" (Great idea from Bob Was) we as a club are helping do just that. $240 was raised through the auction and donations from club members. That $240 will support the life of one person for the next year.
- Barbara was presented with a token of thanks and she told us that each of the last couple of years she has taken the gift and donated it to the ALS Foundation. Thank you Barbara for being you and all that you do for us as a group.
