President's Corner
How many bones are in the human body?
|
Who was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
|
Who shot the arrow that killed Achilles?
|
A near capacity crowd of Rotarians, Civilians, and guests gathered at the Glaziers' Hall on the Hill on Saturday night to raise money for the Welfare Fund and to spread Club 11 goodwill & friendship at Rotary's Trivia Night!
|
Terry Werner and his committee, which included a huge assist from the Civilians, had 15 tables of trivia players, a 50/50 pot that approached $1000, Silent Auction items, a game of Heads/Tails, Game Mulligans - all designed to enlarge our Welfare Fund as the Community Service grant season approaches. Did I mention free beer? There was free beer, soda & water, too! In short, it was a lot of fun.

Scribe's Report ~ Helen DiFate~ February 27, 2020

Scribe’s Report 2/27/2020
|
At 12:00 noon President Bob sounded the bell. All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by recitation of Rotary’s Four Way Test. Then, heads bowed, we listened to the invocation by Terry Werner. Bill Piper led us in “God Bless America.” It was a day to smile … we knew the words and the singing went well!
|
President Bob wasted no time in noting the upcoming programs: March 5, Ranken Technical College; March 12, Engineers’ Day; and, March 19, XFL’s St. Louis BattleHawks. Community Service Co-Chair, Bob Zangas, reminded us that March 12 is the deadline for Grant Applications to be received by their Rotary sponsors. Terry Werner reminded us that Trivia Night is Saturday, February 29! President Bob noted that RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Academy) Scholarship applications are due March 31. Upcoming events are: March 17, volunteer to help at Lift For Life Gym; March 18, New Members’ Breakfast; and, March 25, Happy Hour at Seamus McDaniel’s in Dogtown. President Bob concluded the announcements with the preliminary results of the Breakfast Meeting Question emailed to the members. Of those responding, more were in favor than opposed, but no decision has been made by the Board.
|
Sargeant-At-Arms Dan Conway followed beginning with a story of his elementary school basketball career – a short-lived career to which many in the room could relate! Dan introduced a guest and our visiting CA Rotarian.
|
Dale Ruthsatz introduced our speaker, Kitty Ratcliffe, President, Explore St. Louis.
|
Explore St. Louis markets St. Louis for visitors. It drives economic development for the City as we compete with seventeen +/- other cities for the same visitors. We need to expand and update to be successful. To meet this challenge, Explore St. Louis has developed AC Next Gen – a $175 million expansion and facelift for the America’s Center Convention Complex. Exhibition space, ballroom, outdoor pavilion, and loading docks are the focus.

Bowling Alleygations ~ Jonathan Soifer ~ February 24, 2020
|
Alleygations February 24, 2020
|
This week started the fourth Quarter for the year. Time flies when we’re having fun.
|
A bowler from the league next door won the 50/50. Rumor has it Matt told him that after winning twice he had to join the Club. A perfectly fair way to bring new bowlers into our league.
|
Monday saw a big upset at lanes 23&24 where Team Conway walloped Team Soifer, and took all 22 points. I think I’m glad I missed bowling. It looks like Team Conway was carried to victory by Bob Zangas and Kent Steinbrueck, who bowled 31 and 44 points over average, respectively.
|
Teams Decker and Lorenz battled it out on lanes 21 & 22, where the competition was fierce and the scores were high. Seven of the eight bowlers were over average. In the end, Team Lorenz beat Team Decker 12-10.

Assistive Listening Headsets Available for Our Meetings
|
Do you sometimes have difficulty hearing our speakers despite sitting close to the front of the room? The good news is we now have a solution. In collaboration with the Missouri Athletic Club, the Program Committee has purchased an assistive technology system called VocoPro UHF. It is a wireless system that will broadcast sound directly from the podium microphone to individual headsets. If you have interest in trying out this new system, headsets can be reserved and checked out at the badge table prior to our weekly meetings.
