ANNOUNCEMENTS 

FIRST MEETING BACK AT BRAE BURN!

Tech scholarships will be given out next week (June 11).  Tomorrow is graduation at Newton North, where Marie Presti will represent us and accept our award.

Community Grants will be given out the following week (June 18).

Installation dinner will be at Hotel Indigo June 25, 6-8:00 PM, and will be considered our weekly meeting, so there will not be a regular lunch meeting that week.

Tony Bibbo brought a letter of thanks on behalf of Mayor Setti Warren regarding the prayer breakfast.

Indira Desai reminded us that this friday, GSE group will be at 366 Farm Lane, Westwood at Mike's house.  Bring receipts for Indira if you have any expenses.

Chris Chu put on her Membership Chair hat---we've lost Marianna Degatti as a member.  We need a new membership push. Chris reminded us to keep rotary membership at the forefront of your conversations when you are out.

Paul Kerrissey announced that we have 4 rotarians that have stepped up to become a Paul Harris Fellow.  They will be announced at the Installation Dinner.

Paul asked that we call people who are not here, to come next week to be in attendance at the scholarship lunch.

Mark Nicholas did not have any guests to announce, so instead he told us a joke...

RAFFLE:

Peter Mahler won the raffle drawing, and picked his own number, causing some groans from the crowd. He was unsuccessful at picking the Ace of Spades.

HAPPY DOLLARS: Plenty of happy Rotarians!
