RAFFLE:

There was a reminder to donate more prizes to the Raffle Committee.

 

PROGRAM:

President Michael led club in a lively match of Jeopardy! The membership was divided into four teams. Team leaders were Rise Ups – Paul Stoot, Magic - Larry O’Donnell, Questioners – Walt Greenwood and Air Heads – John Olson. The categories were: US Presidents, World Capitals, Authors, Classic Movies, and US History.

 

After a copious number of hints and second chances several of the answers were correctly presented as a question. Points were awarded by President Michael for correct answers in an arbitrary fashion. On the final question, Larry O’Donnell answered the question correctly but the points were awarded to Team Rise up. This propelled Team Rise Up to victory and the winning prize of Rotary branded M&M’s. Everyone had a great time with lots of fellowship.
