    ANNOUNCEMENTS:

    • MARIELLLEN NEUDECK asks that the members of the Vocational Projects Committee plan to meet right after the meeting on December 6th.

    • LETA KELLEY announced that the Community Service Project involving filling boxes for Christmas will take place on December 2nd at Holy Trinity Church. Contact LETA for details.

    • SUSAN HYCHKA announced that there are just 3 spots available to ring the bell for Salvation Army. This is a Rotary tradition since 1932 and the need has probably never been greater since those depression years. We are asked to do two things: ring the bell with children, grandchildren, spouse or a friend and write a check payable to the Lafayette Rotary Foundation for Salvation Army. DAVE LAHR and TOM MORAN were stuffing envelopes at today's meeting - so look for your letter in the mail soon.

    PROGRAM:
    Sam Postlethwait introduced Daybreak Rotarian GAYLE CROWE who presented an appropriate program for this week of Thanksgiving. He noted that we rarely say thank you to God for all the things in life that go right. Incorporating several good stories, GAYLE left us with this to remember: Thankfulness has nothing to do with circumstances and everything to do with attitude.
