On Friday, August 19, 2016, the Rotary Club of Canton will host its annual golf outing at The Sanctuary Golf Club located at 2017 Applegrove Street N.W., North Canton.  Each year the outing brings more than 75 golfers together from many local Rotary Clubs to participate in a friendly competition, leaving only one Rotary Club with bragging rights for the next year.  This is a great day to bring guests or prospective members to see what Rotary is all about and meet some of the great people that are involved with Rotary.
 
As in the past, the golf outing will take the place of our regularly-scheduled Friday meeting.  This means all Canton Rotarians are welcome to come for lunch, even if they are not planning to golf. The cost for your lunch would be $13.00. We will be enjoying Old Carolina Barbecue at noon. 

 

After lunch, those golfing will join their foursomes and participate in a scramble-format golf tournament.  Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers in the scramble and for the longest drive, closest to the hole, and longest putt.  

 

There will also be a putting contest, with the winner taking a BMW home for the weekend, courtesy of Cain BMW.

Beginning on Friday, July 8, 2016, the weekly meetings will now be held at Meyer's Lake Ballroom CALYPSO ROOM.  This is the middle room at the banquet facility.

 

We will still be receiving the same wonderful treatment we have always received from Meyer's Lake Ballroom and Mr. Mike's Catering staff, it is only the room site that will change.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

 

 

We are in DIRE need of a Host Family for our incoming Youth Exchange Student.  This young man will be arriving from France in the month of August.  Please consider opening your home up and supporting our Youth Exchange Program.

 

Please contact the Rotary office (330) 452-2882 or Chairwoman Amy Mustafaga (330) 760-4079 if you, or someone you know, is interested in hosting this individual.

 

 

 

The Rotary office received the following "Happy Bucks" from Past President Jason McCoy ('73-'74).  PP Jason provided $5.00 to announce the following "Happy" news:

PP Jason is proud to reflect on past endeavors he accomplished during his years as a Rotarian.  PP Jason states the very first "Pancake Day" took place when he was President of the Club.  He is proud the Club welcomed 29 new members during his presidency (which is a record he thinks).

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so grateful for the Rotary Club of Canton's support and also the financial support of fellow Rotarians in donating $1,200 to the worthy cause of our New Member Project.

Rotarian Bill Liber gave the Invocation.

 

Club Secretary Michelle Mullaly welcomed the following guests to the meeting:  Jeff Lebeau and Dennis Dent (guests of David Roberts) and Mary Ann Sherer (wife and guest of Rick Sherer).

 

The "Happy Bucks" news was then provided by the following Rotarians:
