Rotary Meeting October 9, 2012

DON'T FORGET--WE WILL MEET AT THE NEWTON MARRIOTT BEGINNING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16

Justin Sallaway called the meeting to order, and asked Paul Stone to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Susanne led us in song with "God Bless America", and Justin delivered the invocation.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Death By Chocolate--we will have an update soon.

Next week, Dave Andleman from The Phantom Gormet will be the Guest Speaker
If you are going to bring a guest to the Marriott, let Chris Chu or Justin know, as we have a limit of 40 for the room we are going to be using.

Board Meeting is moved to next week, October 16 at the Marriott

GUESTS
Norm Olson visiting Rotarian
Ann McGregor-Radin, Center Street Food Pantry
Harriet Fink, Gluten Free Baker--returning guest.

Newton Has Talent--committee has met and made some good progress. It has morphed, and the Y's Music Director, Kevin has given us a new direction...acts may send in Youtube videos, we will cull the list down to 20, and have group voting, then final 10 will perform at Newton North High School. We will extend the date so we can do the website, and the Ad Book, and we don't want to piggy back off Death by Chocolate. We need the opportunity to get on next year's budgets for businesses who will sponsor. Tom and Kevin  are meeting with Adam from Newton North on Friday to discuss spring dates.

Raffle: Peter Mahler won, but picked King of Diamonds.

Happy Dollars
