Mike Sr. reminded everyone to attend the Burton Pancake breakfast in support of the Burton Rotary Club, March 30. Contact him to make the reservations.
 
The Meals on Wheels luncheon for their volunteers is to be May 25th. This is their 25th anniversary year. Mike Sr. commented that he feels he must give up his day to deliver the meals as he is usually busy and unable to make it. Jackie M. stated that she would take his place the week after next.
 
John W. stated that George S. needed help getting more boosters and sponsors for the Vo-Ed dinner. Information regarding this event is on the Web. Tom M. stated that more participants are needed for the Memorial Day Parade in South Euclid. Scott M. is to provide a trailer and a vehicle to pull it.
 
Joe C. and Brian G. enjoyed the PETS meeting. Joe said he learned of the responsibilities he has to fulfill for his presidency. He learned that Rotary is much greater than just this club. Brian said that it was an opportunity to meet Rotarians from other states and exchange ideas. Representatives from the Rotary Foundation were present. He felt that possibly our club needs to evaluate our focus and programs.
 
Ed Sullivan questioned how he knew where he stood with the annual giving program. He was told that he could get on the club site, use his password and see his contributions. Each club President has a list but the information on the list is not open to club members. Providing information to all club members is against privacy laws.
