Meeting Notes

Again, snow on a Wednesday for Rotary!

News that our speaker from St Paul of Lexington may become a member. Does this mean Ken can no longer give the invocation???

Evan became a sustaining member.

Bill updated us on the St Patricks Event

  It will be held on March 13th 2009 at 7:30
  Tickets $25 pp  $22.50 for seniors

Ticket sales are very important, we need the entire club to participate. Although the regent is handeling most of the publicity we all need to get the word out about the event. The Ad book is particularly important for this event, Ad Books have the potential to raise a large amount of money but again it depends on clubs participation. People are not going to come to us asking to give us money for an ad, we have to go out and get the ads. We will not have a silent auction but there will be to baskets for a raffle, A Red Sox Basket and an Irish Themed basket, donations will be needed for these baskets. Our initial costs look to be between $4000-$5000 There is not a formal event committee but those who are currently helping Bill are Carolyn, Ken, Richard, Stacey and Betsy.

Speaker

Darlene Murphy, CPA President of Wellesley Financial Advisors Very good presentation on Convertible Bonds
