Today we heard from Bob Wood. He had a very interesting career path. He started with his grandfather in the catering business. Went to school and studied management. Bob served in the Military, lived in Texas, worked for Holiday Inn and finally ended up at the Chilton Club. The Chilton Club is a private club for Women. It is old English style where tea is served in bone china cups and dinner is served on Silver platters. Bob heads several committees within the club. The committees are made up of members and they make many decisions concerning the club, such as lecture series, special events, building changes etc. The ages of the club members range from 18-110 and they come from all over the world. The club does not have a sign it is just part of the Boston landscape. Bob has been with the club for 26years and loves his work. Bob gave out copies of a book of the history of the club. It was a very interesting talk and I would suggest having a conversation with Bob to learn more.
Reminders:
What do you do with your empty bottles and cans? (And we know there must be a lot of empty beer cans and bottles.) Please bring them (both beer and soda) to the meetings every week to give to Mel. Mel wanted to give a special thank you to North Shore Bank. Every nickel helps!!
******************************
Happy Dollars: This week's Sergeant-at-arms Grace collected $69.
Reminder: If you see any news articles or pictures (not Rotary related) of our members, bring them in so the member can donate $$$ to the club. We can use the money!! But more important--we'd like to recognize and applaud our members.
******************************
50-50 Raffle: The pool was won last week so we are looking for a new card the Ace of Diamonds. Neither Rudy nor Nicloe picked the card.

It's easy to become a Rotary Sustaining member. It's $100 per year, but Loring can bill you $25 per quarter. That's $8.33 a month, or 28 CENTS a day, or a little over a penny an hour.
LET'S BECOME A 100% SUSTAINING MEMBER CLUB!!
THE 4-WAY TEST of the things we think, say or do:
1. IS IT THE TRUTH? 2. IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? 3. WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIP? 4. WILL IT BE BENEFICAL TO ALL CONCERNED?
