Rotary Club of Everett
 
MEETING:
Acting President for the day, Vice President Michael Kvistad started the #5460 meeting of the Rotary Club of Everett and 8th meeting of the year at 12:04 pm and led the members in the Pledge of Allegiance.
 
THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
The “Thought of the Day” was provided by Rotarian Larry O’Donnell.  In connection to the Ed Rubatino Resolution being delivered at today’s meeting, Larry reflected on his first meeting with Ed fifty years ago at the Elks Lodge.  Larry commented that Ed knew everyone in the Lodge that day and was friendly to all.  Larry described how he got to know Ed through our Rotary Club and that it was Ed that started Happy Dollars in our club.  During Larry’s recent illness, he appreciated the funny emails that Ed would send him to keep his spirits up.  Larry was very appreciative of Ed’s support of the O’Donnell Scholarship Fund and for his friendship over the years.   
 
VISTING ROTARIANS AND GUESTS:
Neal Angst introduced Ed’s family members at the meeting today for the resolution including Rose Goulet, a past President of our Club, her husband Larry and Ed’s wife MaraLana Rubatino.
 
RESOLUTION:
Ed Rubatino Resolution – read by Bob Bavasi.   Rotarian Bob Bavasi started the presentation of the Rubatino Resolution with a history and background of Ed and his family in Everett.  Ed started as a club member in 1959 and served as President in 1977.   Ed was an avid boater and retired from the US Coast Guard as a Commander.  His family’s business – Rubatino Refuse Removal – has been a fixture of the community for decades.  Ed introduced Happy Bucks to our club and He and his daughter Rose were the first and daughter family members to be President. 
 
After Bob read the resolution, it was given to his family and a moment of silence was held in Ed’s memory.
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Vice President Michael highlighted the need for House Committee members to help stage the Rotary meetings on Tuesdays. 
 
Kelly Thode reminded the members about the camp tour to Campfire’s Camp Killoqua and the September 30th Blood Drive. 
 
There will be a Board meeting at Neil Angst’s office on August 26th, 7:30 am.
 
Golfers and non-golfers are encouraged to register for the Golfun tournament.  
 
The August 30th club meeting will be in-person only at Hensen Hall.

RAFFLE:
Neil Angst conducted the weekly raffle.   Congratulations to our winners this week (Kristi Davis, Paul Stoot and Greg Tisdel).   
 
PROGRAM – PICKLEBALL: Past, Present, and Prisons
Kari Petrasek introduced our program presenter, Roger BelAir, on the topic of Pickleball – one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S.  Roger led the club through a PowerPoint show that highlighted the recent excitement and media coverage of Pickleball, a sport that was created in a Bainbridge Island backyard in 1965.  The New Yorker, Boston Globe and the USA Today are just some of the major media publications that have recently published articles on Pickleball’s growth.  Similar to tennis and badminton in ways, it is played on a small court with a net.  4 players utilize paddles and a “wiffle ball” as part of the game.
 
Pickleball is easy to learn, great exercise, cheap, social, easy on the joints and just plain FUN!   It was grown from 39 public courts in the early 1970’s to over 10,000 today.  Several years ago, 60 minutes produced a segment on Pickleball with Roger’s work with the Cook County Jail as a positive activity for its maximum-security inmates.  He says the inmates go from no interest to full interest in a just a few days.  He saw that the game helped foster gang interaction while they were on the courts.  More correction facilities are using Pickleball for their inmates.  
 
MEETING ADJOURNED: 
Vice President Michael adjourned the meeting.
