BELOW....NEW MEMBER JIM ENGLAND!   WHAT YOU SEE BELOW IS A SHORT MOVIE THAT WAS TAKEN BY MISTAKE .....INSTEAD OF A STILL PHOTO.    IT SHOWS PRESIDENT SALLY GIVING JIM THE STORY ABOUT ROTARY AND THE WELCOME TO THE CLUB ON 12-16-2015.   FELLOW ROTARIAN ROGER STEWART IS AT LEFT AND WAS THE PERSON TO
INVITE JIM TO JOIN THE CLUB.    YOU MIGHT SAY
ROGER IS JIM'S "SPONSOR".   JIM AND HIS
WIFE PAM BAHR OWN AND OPERATE THE WOOD
PRODUCTS INDUSTRY IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK,
AND THEIR WOOD PRODUCTS FOR THE HOME HAVE BEEN MADE HERE IN MAQUOKETA FOR MANY YEARS AND ARE SOLD ALL OVER THE 
WORLD.       DON'T PUSH THE ARROW BELOW...IT 
WILL JUST MAKE THE IMAGE SMALLER.

THE ANNUAL MAQUOKETA ROTARY "WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE"  WAS HELD AFTER
WEDNESDAY'S (DEC 16TH) REGULAR MEETING.
ROTARIAN "ROTARY WEEK" EDITOR DENNIS VOY
TOOK SOME PHOTOS, A COUPLE A LITTLE OUT
OF FOCUS, BUT YOU GET THE PICTURE THAT 
ALL HAD A NICE TIME.   

JOHN WITH SANTA SHORTS

A SERIOUS MOMENT AND BOB WAS NOT REALLY SLEEPING, JUST DREAMING ABOUT A HAWKEYE
ROSE BOWL WIN.     LOOK CLOSELY AND YOU WILL 
SEE THAT JACK IN UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER
IS SMILING.

JUDY HOLDING LOTTERY TICKETS...WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE MOST POPULAR GIFT OF THE DAY, EXCHANGING  HANDS SEVERAL TIMES.     SEE...BOB IS WIDE AWAKE NOW.

THE GENTLEMAN ON THE FAR RIGHT IS A RELATIVE OF DR. PETE ATIENZA, AND IS FROM THE PHILLIPINES AND HAS BEEN VISITING THE CLUB OFTEN WITH PETE, BELOW.

  

JUDY LOST HER LOTTERY TICKETS TO SOMEONE ELSE, AND SO GOT TO OPEN ANOTHER GIFT, A
FIGURE MADE OF FORKS AND SPOONS.

NEW MEMBER JIM ENGLAND GOT A GIANT CANDY BAR.   

HE LOST THE CANDY BAR LATER AND GOT A 
HAWKEYE CARRY BAG INSTEAD.

MARK WAS IN CHARGE OF THE GIFT EXCHANGE
AND GOT A BOB UECKER BOBBLE-HEAD.

JUST LIKE MARK WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HIS GIFT, SCOTT ALSO DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE CALLED
A HAWKEYE PURSE.   

THE PREZ LOOKS HAPPY WITH THE GIFT CERTIFICATE.

I GOT A $10 BILL AND WAS ABLE TO  KEEP IT...
NANCY GOT A LANTERN AWAY FROM SOMEONE.
SORRY TO SAY, THERE WERE 14 "SCROOGE" 
MEMBERS THAT DID NOT COME TO THE PARTY.
THEY GET A BAG OF COAL LATER.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM SANTA SALLY AND HER
BUNCH OF ROTARY ELVES.
