               Both Julie and Pauli gave "Classification" talks today. We have long term club

         members periodically talk about themselves for the benefit of newer members and as

         done in each Rotary Club, new members give a"Classification" talk to tell the club a

         little more about themselves, their work and families, and the things they enjoy doing.

President Julie made good use of hands as          Pauli chose a more informal, seated approach,

she shared her history and interests                    but gave us an excellant life story sketch in only

                                                                        a few minutes

      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).
