MEETING HIGHLIGHTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Prez Gary reminded everyone again of the International Conference coming up in Los Angeles and it starts on June 13th. Gary praised the turnout at the Annual Spring BBQ and thanked KEITH STONEBRAKER and his wife for the hospitality of their home. KIRK HESSLER announced plans for Gary’s Demotion. It was originally planned for the 24th of June but a number of people have already indicated that they can’t make it on that night. Kirk was then thinking about that Friday, the 27th. Kirk would like as much turnout as possible so he would like all members to e-mail him with their preference of either Tuesday, June 24th or Friday, June 27th. His e-mail address is . Try to let him know as soon as possible so he can set the date. GREG BYNUM reported on the results of the Derby Dinner and said proudly that they made the most money of any prior dinner, $51,000. Bakersfield North Rotary’s share is going to be more than $14,000. Greg thanked the committee and all those who helped and attended for making this year’s Derby a success. Gary said that he is going to be out of town for the Board Meeting scheduled for the 6th and wants to push it to the following week. The board members will receive an e-mail. KIRK HESSLER asked Gary the pointed question of how many meetings he has missed this year. Gary came up with a number and Kirk questioned it. We all have a feeling this will play out on Demotion night.
