PANCAKE BREAKFAST – JUNE 21: Sell those tickets, mark your calendars, we are on the eve of our “main” event.

* As important to our success as ticket sales and a great tasting breakfast are the Friday and Saturday set up, plus the Monday break down.  Please,   plan to spend some time to set up & break down.

* Advance ticket sales are the best ticket sales; the money is in the drawer -- solid insurance against rainy weather!

* Sue Keefe is our keeper of the exchequer; get your sales $$$ to Sue in an envelope, with contents & your name noted.

* Rotarians cannot pull off the day unaided, non-Rotarian volunteers are a big part of this event. Solicit helpers!

* Sold your tickets, need more? Contact Chuck O’Neil; LESS THAN TWO WEEKS REMAINING TO SELL YOUR SOCKS OFF!

Last Week: John Salatte gave an observation of autistic students and the SCS’s efforts to provide meaningful education, understanding, and awareness of this seemingly increasing malady, including community costs.

This Week: Club Assembly Dinner meeting @ 6:30 / Rotarians only. The June board meeting is @ 5 P.M.

Benediction & Atonement: This Thursday Cheryl Silvestrini will present our invocation.  And hopefully our good Dr. Patil will perform a pain free & “less than surgical” atonement of Fines and Happy $$$ separation of money from its owners.

Next Week: Pancake Breakfast Organization Meeting led by Robin Jowaisas & Chuck O’Neil – until then, keep selling!

Of note: From all at Rotary, our sincerest condolences to Jack Hyatt & family at the passing of his sister Eleanor.

Rotary Club Flags & Memorabilia: Globe hopping SRC’s Ward Vuillemot is asking that vistarian’s gifts of their club flags and memorabilia be given to him before our Pancake Breakfast so they may be displayed along with the many others.

Exchequer & Preparation: Todd May, John May & Brad McLennan will take our money at the door& conduct our weekly “draw for the queen” 50/50. On June 18th, it will be Jim Messenger, John O’Sullivan, & Bunt Osborne.

If you will be among the missing, please get a substitute!
