The Meeting was brought to order at 6:50 pm. Ken Lesniak led off with the Gyro song, followed by John William’s toast to the Queen. Gary Jones introduced his guest Bruce, and Scott Brisbin gave a thoughtful Grace. Dinner featured Chicken Schnitzel, which was excellent. Don Greg gave an extensive report on health and welfare in which he reported many of our Gyro members are making good progress back to good health. Don acknowledged the loss of Rick Lemieux’s wife and advised that a donation had been made by the Club on her behalf. Art Merrick reported his wife Judy was once again undergoing treatment for cancer. Lawrence Zaleski gave an extensive report on the history and status of Bill Carter’s health status and noted Bill would like to take some fellow Gyro’s money by playing Crib at his house. Al Bleiken read a letter of Thanks from Bill and Jeannie for all the support they received from Gyro members.
Al Bleiken then presented the Bowling trophy to Brian Wolfe, who chaired the winning team. The delay in presenting the trophy was caused by some minor repairs which needed to be done. Scott Brisbin won the 50/50. And John Williams gave a report on our next meeting which will be Poker Night. The meeting was adjourned. Garry Jones then introduced Al Bleiken as the Guest Speaker. As stated, the presentation on Global Terrorism was a fill-in for the cancelled Valentines Dance. Unfortunately, it was not as much fun as the dance would have been. The response to the presentation was good from the 22 Gyros attending the meeting and some important questions were raised on terrorism. Several members asked for a copy of the written report on terrorism, which I have attached for Gyros who attended and those who were away.
All in all, another good Gyro meeting.
Thank you and have a good day.
Vice President Al
