HEADS UP
This week the Head
Table was flanked by spirituality, KEITH MAGEE did the Visitors and Guests and
PATRICIA FARRIS did the invocation. In the middle we had our ever popular
Program Director DAVID RIMER and to his right was funnyman BOBBY KELTON, of The
Tonight Show fame. Rounding out our fair table of honorables this week was the
ever lovely JUDY NEVEAU and preparing to close his year, President BILL
CROOKSTON.
Leading us in song
and cheer this week, stepping out from his role as club wallflower was CLYDE
SMITH, accompanied by the tickling fingers of CAROL JACKSON.
Tonight Show
veteran BOBBY KELTON gave a humorous look at life in America. As he has appeared
over 20 times on the Tonight Show, this journalist turned funnyman was a breath
of humorous air to lighten the somberness of the club as we note the waning days
of President Crookston’s time in office.
Kelton was a good
natured humorist, who poked fun at the Rotary, golf, and himself, noting that he
was the only player in little league to be traded to new family.
Good choice
chairman Dave!!
FINES AND
GRANTS
This week the fines
were flying over children and grandchildren. Our resident Agent, ALONZO HILL is
paying $10 per month for his bundle of joy, that’s a cool $100 for the FBI man
on the street.
Grampa ROBERT KLEIN
is paying $10 an inch for the latest limb of the Klein tree, and at 20 ½ inches
that adds up to tall $205.
PAUL LEONI is
paying for his in both inches and pounds. $10 each for his 10 pound 8 incher.
This week the
Rotary Club of Santa Monica gave grants to the Center for the Partially sighted,
supporting a screen reader program that allows the partially sighted to use
computers and keep working.
The Santa Monica
Westside YMCA received $2000 through the Children and Youth Committee.
