At our weekly meeting on May 20, 2016, President Paul White welcomed our members and guests to the meeting.
 
Rotarian Becky Clark gave the Invocation.
 
Club Secretary Michelle Mullaly welcomed the following guest to the meeting: Jan Pattison (wife and guest of Bob Pattison).
 
The "Happy Bucks" news was then provided by the following Rotarians:
  • PP Virginia Neutzling - was happy because Saturday was National Armed Forces Day.  She thanked the members of Rotary who served in the armed forces and asked each to stand to be recognized.
  •  
  • PDG/PP Dave Ewing - he thanked and recognized Jack Brannen and Bill Sparks for the live music they provide to the club each week.
 
  • Mark Milano - was happy to see fellow Rotarian Steve Fettman was enshrined into the Police Boys Club HOF.  Mark stated Steve is a great member of Rotary.
  •  
  • Tena Wilson - was happy to see that Max Barton is now a member of Rotary and for the programs that the Canton Museum of Art does at the library. She had to borrow $5 from Bruce Hale to announce her "Happy Buck", but only on Bruce's condition that she was supposed to mention "Kozmos Grille" (editor's note: since I was out of town and not able to attend this meeting, I can NOT be blamed for this blatant commercialism! But I DO appreciate it! Thanks Bruce and Tena!).
  •  
  • Bruce Hale - he was happy to announce a "New Member Project" will take place in September.  It will be a "walk" that everyone can join and participate in.
  •  
  • President Elect Craig Young - was pleased to announce his band, "Bandog", was playing live in Massillon last weekend.
  •  
  • President Paul White - was happy that the sun had come out!
PDG/PP Dave Ewing then took to the podium to bring the members up to date on the Rotary Foundation.  He stated the Foundation will be celebrating its 100th year in 2017.  The founder, Arch Klumph, was from Cleveland and there will be a celebration in Cleveland on October 23, 2016, with dinner and a Cleveland Orchestra concert. Dave then awarded PDG/PP Bob Pattison and his wife, Jan, with the Rotary International Major Donor Gift (*please see story above).
