Thursday’s Meeting Summary
St., just north of Michigan Avenue. Weather and gathering were
great. There was lots of great potluck food and a good turn-out of
Rotarians, family members, and
friends. PP Rick Enright chose the
picnic over an awards gala with
Director Steven Spielberg!
Picnic area was well-shaded and
picnic tables had table clothes. Bob
Gleichauf brought his grill and was
chief chef of hamburgers, hot dogs,
and brats. Serious fire flare-ups
were handled well. His wife Janet
provided an assist with other picnic
supplies, such as an inflatable icefilled serving tray. Chilled tray kept
her good potato salad and other
cold dishes safe on this summer
evening.
Lots of other picnic food was
served. There were several Cole
slaw salads, several broccoli salads,
great genuine baked beans by Kathleen Gapa, chips, all kinds of condiments to go with the hamburgers,
brats, and hot dogs, a beverage
table, plus a super dessert table.
Waseem Younis and his wife,
Laurene, brought a fruit-topped
“Rotary Cake” that was quickly
eaten. Great cookies, brownies, and
pastries from Shatila’s Bakery were
in good supply.
Proud Tartar John Paepke stopped
by on his bicycle. Think most everyone else drove. Hassen Hammoud,
who lives in close proximity, possibly walked to the event. Bob
Young, who also attended, said he
use to be a regular jogger.
Exchange student, Nune, from
Thailand was there with Jim Thorpe
and his family. Think PP Jim was
suffering from a little soreness from
his past weekend’s 380 mile bicycle
ride between Lansing and Mackinaw
City.
Evening was filled with food and
conversation. President Merritt was
on hand to see that the social event
ran smoothly. The mosquitoes were
not biting. Crowd dispersed as dusk
approached.

The District Governor Golf Outing is a long tradition for District 6400. It raises money for clubs to use with world and community projects. Our club has always had a foursome playing in this event, but this year we would like to see at least 3
foursomes. If you would like to play, please contact Roger Miller so we get a count as to our level of participation.
