Heard at Today's Meeting

Pres. Bill called the meeting to order at 7:30.

Darryl told us of the great success last weekend of the "Wounded Warrior" fishing tournament. Many members of our club contributed to making it a fantastic experience for the 20 wounded soldiers and also the officers accompanying them. Jay Tesh tried to call a few members to see if we were meeting today - found Scott in Idaho and Chuck in Missippi. Both sent their Thanksgiving regards. Larry made a presentation to the TD ROTC team for funds to help ship Christmas packages to troops in Iraq.

This Week's Program

Pete Adler replaced his scheduled speaker from Ft. Lee, and talked about two of his favorite subjects - The Championship Golf Team, in case amyone missed previous announcements, and the latest ramp built and installed last weekend. Many people involved and a great article in the Progress-Index was circulated. Rotarians, Officers from Ft Lee, and Church members made it appear easy and Sgt Knight was amazed at how quickly it went. He even helped with the construction. This was our 11th ramp and although all are really appreciated by the recipiants, this one was special because it was for a wounded vet and it gave many people a little satisfaction to give back to someone who gave so much of himself for us.
