Our weekly meeting on August 19, 2016, was the Annual Golf Outing held at the Sanctuary Golf Course.  President Craig Young welcomed the members and golfers to the meeting.  President Craig asked everyone to keep PP Scott Sandrock and his family in their prayers.  Scott's father passed away on August 15th.
 
President Craig then informed everyone of Administrative Assistant Lauri Coy who was celebrating her "30th" birthday that day.  Everyone broke out in the "Happy Birthday" song! (**According to Lauri, President Craig was being very generous on her age!)
 
Rotarian Kurt Goodenberger gave the invocation.
 
Club Secretary Suzette Matthews asked if anyone had any "Happy News".  The following was provided:
  • Max Barton - was pleased to provide a happy buck to thank everyone for their support of the Arts;
  •  
  • Tim Franta - was very happy that his golf crew/team was in attendance;
  •  
  • Bruce Hale - was very pleased to introduce his guest, Kevin Heraghty.  Kevin will be joining the Rotary Club of Canton in the near future.
Golf Chairman Nick Perini then took to the podium to inform everyone about some of the "raffles" taking place during the golf outing.  He stated there was a 50/50 drawing taking place and the winning ticket would be drawn at 12:30 pm and the winner must be present.  Nick then explained the "Putting Contest" with a chance to win the use of a BMW car for a weekend courtesy of Cain BMW.
