Thank you all for a super year as
President. As Assistant Governor
I look forward to being your
immediate link to District as well

Clubs. Tari
A super 2013-2014 Year to All!
I'd like to thank Tari for an exceptional and exciting year as Meriden Rotary President!! She was extremely active at all events for the club and the district keeping the Meriden Rotary's activities well known in the District. It's been a pleasure to see her right hand man Lex grow into such a great young man right before our eyes and to become the young leader he is in so many ar-eas including Rotary!! Good Stuff!! I'm particularly excited for Tari as she applies her talents and irrepressible energy to her term as Assist. Dist. Governor. I also want to acknowledge my incoming leadership team. WELCOME! GOALS! Solidify our leadership succession and continue to build our Rotary Team for the coming years. Concentrate on Membership Retention and Growth..... show a net growth of 5 members minimum by my year end. Every Rotarian will be involved in some activity large or small as they contrib-ute to the success of the club. I will find the spark to get them ignited!!! We will educate the Club members on what the club is all about. What Rotary has to offer and how we can extend our outreach and service. (Rotary Magazine Quiz). New Generations / Youth Services will be a big focus and developing our Interact club members as future leaders of Rotary We will expand our International programs this year with Tari leading the charge!! We begin this Rotary Year with the following on our Calendar!! July 20th -- Pet Fair Aug 5th -- Meriden Rotary/YMCA Golf Tournament and Clam bake!! Sept -- Membership Assembly, District Interact Advisor Assembly and Kiwanis Rotary Luncheon
Oct -- Meriden Rotary Sponsored Source to Sound Quinnipiac River Clean Up
November - Four Way Test Speech and Essay Contest December - Salvation Army Bell Ringing
I encourage all members to give me your ideas, programs or activities you'd like us to consider !! Thanks for your support and every day we make a difference in the Meriden Rotary Club!!

Thank you to scribe Molly
Yvonne welcomed us all and thanked us for our transition to the Four Points and Silver
City Grille and not complaining despite compressor issues…no complaints throughout.
Many thanks and congratulations for a successful Megaride – You know who you were.
Greg had $3 for welcoming Julie back to Rotary, His daughter, Mia, had straight A’s
throughout Middle School, and his wife received the “Teacher of the Year” award.
Julie was happy to be welcomed back.
John and many others thanked and congratulated Tari for an excellent year and Megaride.
Alan lamented he did not take Kevin’s advice and left the Megaride to go into the teeth of
the storm on his skidoo.
“Someone said something about golfing. It was heartfelt.”
Craig had his (boat) bottom painted and was able to sail again (Molly sniffs)
Chris thanked Interact for their good works/help. Kevin, once he figured out he was at the
Megaride, was amazed at how many hamburger patties could be separated and consumed.
Kevin suggested Rotarians sponsor a trip to Saratoga with the Interact members. Later he
also said his “mouth is big enough” but he also wanted to thank Yvonne for taking us in.
Pam alluded to happiness over the past and future years +++
Dana was pleased with the help of her straight A daughter. Dana is looking for Sergeant at
Arms assistance before school starts again.
Lynn and several others thanked Yvonne for the smooth transition to Four Points.
Angela gave $20 for her prolonged absence and pleasure at being welcomed back.
Cliff and Chris thanked Hunter’s for their ongoing support.
Tari thanked all for her year, offered Sam a recognition he was due for the year since he
was not at Installation to receive it and commented that she is pleased to be the ongoing AG
liaison with District.
HAPPY—HAPPY DOLLARS At our weekly meetings the Rotary tradition of Happy Dollars is the segment
where we can individually take the floor for a minute and donate a few dollars to
share personal, fun information. A great opportunity to thank people as well and
to collect some extra funds for our causes.
