My ability to hear well is diminishing and the ZOOM audio coming over my computer wasn’t great; so, I’m sure I missed out on some juicy pre-meeting discussions.  What I could hear though was a ZOOMER with their TV on listening to news reports about one of our past presidents (U.S. not Rotary) and his day in court.  As high noon approached, 11:58 am, a ZOOMERS wall clock started chiming.  President Tammy Dunn took this sign as a signal to call our meeting to order.  As of the opening bell 42 people were in attendance, 16 ZOOMERS and 26 in person.

. 

President Tammy led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and into our 48^th meeting or our Rotary year and the 5,500^th meeting of the Rotary Club of Everett.   

 

President Tammie’s Thought of The Day message centered around “Why Join Rotary”

 

R  ealization of “Service Above Self”.

O  pportunities to be involved with community and international projects.

T  eam up with other volunteers to make a difference.

A  ppreciation for your contribution.

R  espect, fellowship, and fun.

Y  our skills and talents are shared.

 

Past President Mark Valentine entertained us on his electric guitar and with his vocals as he played and sang Tears for Fears hit song “Everybody wants to rule the world”.  This 1980’s pop rock band from England will be playing at Climate Pledge Arena on July 27^th.  I looked up the availability of tickets and  their prices, and according to stubhub.com there are still tickets to be obtained at prices starting at $43.00.

 

Past President Dick Schlosser, having not been seen in a while, was introduced as a visiting Rotarian.

 

President Tammy introduced her two guests from the Snohomish County Sports Commission, Rachel Lane, sports marketing specialist and Elise Waldal, marketing & events intern.

 

Kari Quaas, who headed up the Shopping Spree for AVID students, thanked all those that helped the students spend their $500.00 on college essentials.

 

Kelli Thode and Heather Barnhart are heading up another Blood Drive that will be in conjunction with the Everett Elks on June 30^th.  They need a couple of greeters to work a 10:00 am - 3:00 pm shift.

 

Brian Hollingshead passed out flyers on all the tables advertising the next fellowship to be held on June 22^nd at the Marriot on Colby.  It begins at 5:00 pm.

 

President Elect Neil Angst mentioned he will soon be emailing out committee names and descriptions that we will all be having the opportunity to sign up for.   FYI - The Program Committee needs a chair.

 

HAPPY DOLLARS AND BIRTHDAY BUCKS: 

Past President Steve Miller, sporting a sling on his left arm supporting a “loose” shoulder, had a training accident while landing from a water ski jump. Thank you, PP Steve, for your “happy dollars” and I’m sure the MRI folks and the Orthopedist will be happy to collect their dollars as well.

 

Kari Quaas was thankful for the success of Sorticulture that was held in downtown Everett over the weekend.

 

President Elect Neil was $50.00 happy that his band, 2 ½ Old Men, will be playing on the main stage of the Strawberry Festival in Marysville on the 18^th at 1:30 pm at Ashbery Park.

 

Rich Toyer gave $100.00 unhappy dollars as the 2 shots he has received to his spine to alleviate pain and help him to be able to walk normally have not worked.  He goes back this afternoon to get a 3^rd shot into a different location and is hoping this will be the one that works.

 

Walt Greenwood was happy to have the microphone to recruit members to sign up for the Public Relations Committee.

 

Krissy Davis as happy to me named the president of __________. My computer and my ears did not pick up the organization, I apologize.

 

Kari Petrasek won a bottle of wine.

 

Past President Larry O’Donnell won a bottle of wine.

 

Past President Henry Newton won a bag of Swedish Fish (chewable).

 

Kari Petrasek introduced the Development Director of The Schack Art Center, Raedle Alburn, who will be our speaker today.

 

Raedle complimented Past President Mark on his guitar skills as her husband plays the electric guitar, but what comes out of his guitar doesn’t sound as good as what comes out of PP Mark’s guitar.

 

Raedle gave us a power point presentation on The Schack.
