THE TWO TICKETS TO THE OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER (FOR THE ALL GIRL BAND SHOW) DID NOT GET A BID.
GUEST SPEAKER APRIL 20TH....MAQUOKETA ARTIST ROSE FRANTZEN,
WHO SPOKE ON WHO (MANY) CAN BECOME AN ARTIST AND USED THE
WIND TO ILLUSTRATE. HER MOTHER AND DAD WERE ALSO AT THE MEETING
AND WAYNE ESPECIALLY LIKED THE FOOD FOR DINNER. HE HAS A DELICIOUS OPTIMIST BREAKFAST AT THE EAGLES WEDNESDAY MORNINGS
AND WIFE ELLEN THEREFORE WAS ENJOYING A COOKING BREAK TODAY. THE THREE IN THE PHOTO BELOW.
LAST WEEK ROSE WAS IN A WORLD-WIDE PORTRAIT ARTIST EVENT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THAT FEATURED OVER 25-HUNDRED PORTRAIT ARTISTS.
IN COMPETITION SHE FINISHED IN 4TH PLACE AND WAS THE PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD AND SHE AND ANOTHER ARTIST WERE SELECTED TO
PAINT A PORTRAIT ON STAGE IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS, AS YOU SEE HER DO IN ABOVE PHOTO. ANOTHER GOOD WEEK LAST WEEK FOR ROSE AND
ANOTHER WEEK WHEN PEOPLE GOT TO HEAR ABOUT THE LITTLE TOWN
IN IOWA PRONOUNCED MA-COKE-EH-TA.
ROTARY HAS LOST TWO MEMBERS BECAUSE BOTH HAVE MOVED FROM
MAQUOKETA. STEVE FLYNN (AN ACTIVE MEMBER FOR MANY YEARS) NOW
LIVING IN ARIZONA AND BLAIRE FRANCIS, NO LONGER WORKING FOR
DUTRAC. NOTE SURE WHERE SHE NOW LIVES. SHE WAS A MEMBER OF
OUR CLUB LESS THAN A YEAR. WE WILL MISS BOTH.
AND WE WERE TOLD TODAY THAT DENNIS HASENBANK WILL BE LEAVING
ROTARY BECAUSE OF HEALTH REASONS. AND YES, WE WILL MISS HIM
TOO, ESPECIALLY HIS FUNNY STORY NOW AND THEN.
NO NOON REGULAR MEETING MAY 4TH BECAUSE THE SCHOLARSHIP DINNER WILL BE HELD THAT NIGHT AT THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH STARTING AT 6 P.M. CHRIS HOOVER IS CHAIR PERSON OF THE
EVENT.
