 Foster's Vacation:

Foster has been off with Club Secretary Pam adventuring at the end of his Rotary year:

Dang Moose

Foster went to Orlando to relax at the Vistana timeshare. He played in the pool. His float

 popped and he was saved by his Rotarian Pam. Pam's husband threw him in the deep end,

 blaming his furry toenails for the incident. He doesn't swim. He decided to sit pool side.

       While sunning by the pool he meet another fellow animal who was on a trip with a group

from a motorcycling trip from North Carolina. They shared stories of being animals taken on

trips to promote conversations.. which really did promote conversation about the groups they belonged, and teaching people about Rotary in Florida. 

   When he returned to Maine he was asked to go to a tugboat Christeningin Boothbay

 . He enjoyed the  trip to Boothbay. He met many seamen. He loves shallow muddy water.

       Meeting Program:  

           A shorter meeting, President Brad showed some Thank you letters going out to

   our sponsors Kennebunk Savings - who gave us $500, and Tasty Thai - which gave us

   $400 and four gift certificates. The event made close to $5000, up somewhat from 2011.

            We will have a table at the Kittery Block Party June 16th. Brad is looking for

      volunteers to both man our table under the new Rotary canopy and also to help

      man the event. Please contact Brad. An email has been sent out today to all

      club members.

      people who bring in a jar of peanut butter. There will be program displays at the Block

      Party in front of the Peoples United Bank and the Lions Club. This is truely a

      community effort

 50-50 Raffle:  50% of the pot goes for club administration and 50% goes to the lucky

                 individual if their raffle ticket is chosen and they select the one joker hidden in

             the ever-decreasing deck of cards. If the joker is not drawn then the pot

             rolls over to the next week.
