Hello Everyone,
We are back at Crissey Farm this week and we'll finally be able to present Odille and Sally with our half year tips. If you haven't contributed, please see Barbara Manring and consider making a contribution.
Drive for Scholarships: Last Thursday couldn't have been a more perfect day for the golf tournament! Pastor Van's doing for sure! We had 120 golfers who arrived ready to play. As they went through the registration line, they received certificates for a golf glove as the give away to be picked up at the Pro Shop, generously purchased tickets for the 50/50 raffle, restaurant raffle and bucket raffle as well as for the on-course games. As I thanked one of the players for participating, he said, "My daughter got Rotary scholarships, it's the least I can do". Before the 9:00 shot gun start, there was a light breakfast in the dining room and then bull horn in hand, Ed sent everyone off to play.
Photos were taken of the teams with copies ready for the players to pick up as they returned to the Club House. Wyantenuck had an ample lunch prepared and the chef carved nicely done ham and turkey as the golfers came through the line. During lunch Alice Maggio, a former scholarship recipient and a Wesleyan graduate, spoke expressing her gratitude for the scholarships she had received from Rotary and updating all on what she has done since college. During the program the golf winners were announced and also the drawings of all the raffle ticket winners took place. The restaurant raffle winners were Shirley Perry and John Humphrey. Appreciation was expressed for the participation of all the players and the support of the business sponsors.
Rotarians deserve a great deal of thanks for all the ways they contributed to the success of the Tournament: getting business sponsors, having one's business be a sponsor, suggesting names for Circle of Friends, donating to the Circle of Friends, organizing the restaurant raffle, acquiring restaurant gift certificates, selling restaurant raffle tickets, securing tee signs, volunteering to set up and do other tasks at Wyantenuck, organizing the volunteers, working on the porch with registration and ticket selling, assisting on the course, getting players to participate, sending out invoices, Circle of Friends and thank you letters, keeping the money organized, arranging for the needed supplies, organizing the printing of tickets, posters, flyers, and invitations, advertising on WSBS, spreading the word, attending meetings, working with Wyantenuck regarding costs, food, and scheduling!
Thank you again for the many ways you as Rotarians and Alan's wife, Benes, supported the "Drive for Scholarships! Barbara Manring

And from the Rotary Foundation:
WHAT THE ARCHITECT OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION HAD TO SAY: “The Rotary Foundation is not to build monuments of brick and stone. If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with the full meaning of the spirit of Rotary . . . we are engraving on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.” Arch C. Klumph, President of Rotary International, 1916-1917
