LAST WEEK

PAUL ARANDA told the story of SGT. CRUZ COYAZO of Redlands who was a member of a bomber crew in Europe during WWII who gave their lives fighting for freedom.

NEXT WEEK

TURKEY DAY AKA THANKSGIVING

ANNOUNCEMENT

Please note that there are two more days of the counting of the food/money. Noon Kiwanis has foolishly challenged us to a duel (I was hoping it was a paint ball war). Obviously, they do not realize what they have done! They have challenged us to a food collection contest for Family Service and the Salvation Army in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America “Scouting For Foodn drive, November 12. We will collect non- perishable food and monetary donations 11-3, 11-10 and 11-17 ($1=1#). We will weigh in on 11-19 and the winner declared. SO, obviously please bring a load … or good money! Questions … talk to JIM NOLAN!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Rotary Club of Redlands is planning a holiday party to be held here at the Masonic Lodge on the evening of December 9, 6:00 PM Cocktails and dinner will be served. It is my understanding that it will be a BINGO NIGHT!

ANNOUNCEMENT

Very, very important! Please call on MR. ROBERT W. HEINZE who I expect is a graduate of Princeton University. He questioned my sincere confession about my grandson being a great kicker/punter for Yale! (Results included a 44 yard field goal) I further said that on the 12th of November he and his team would make Princeton fall! I also agreed to a $100 fine for our Rotary Foundation. Results: YALE 24 PRINCETON 20! Now as Yale has beat former number one Princeton, Yale stands in first place in the IVY LEAGUE! I believe that MR. HEINZE would probably be willing to double my fine! Next Saturday it’s on to Boston and Harvard where DIANE and I will hopefully watch Yale do again what they did to Princeton! Our entire family is attending! (Thus I am not here!)

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN

Let us offer our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to ROGER UMINSKI and family on the passing of ROGER’S wife, KELLY. We hold ROGER and his sons in our hearts and pray for their comfort as they navigate this trying and painful time. ROGER, we are with you.
