SGT-AT-ARMS NOTES THAT ROTOPIG IS MISSING again, but President Richard II said that he was not lost, that he knew right where he was.  Richard was required to make a contribution to one of the stand-in Junior pigs.

VISITING ROTARIANS, introduced by acting Secretary Pat Hite, were City Manager Tom Muehlenbeck [Tourist] from Plano Rotary Club and Burt TenBrink [Public Safety] from Oshtemo, Michigan. Burt exchanged banners with us.

ACTING SECRETARY PAT HITE introduced his guest and the guest of Don Wilhelmus, but failed to pass the information on to the Bulletin Iditor. Pat's guest had been here before and is known to be Mark Rhodes, a colleague of Pat's from SMU.

ABSENT WERE Steve Blair, Matt Brown, David Daniels, Reeves Davis, Steve Dippel, George Elking, Judy Jackson, Juergen Mahneke, Dave Marks, Bud McBrayer, Don Mellor, Bill Moore, John Payton, Randy Plumlee, John Roach, Chris Roach, Roach Roach, Brenda Rogers, Shep Stahel, Bob Warren and Jane Wyen.

BLOOD DRIVE CHAIRTHING Tom Rodgers had some words to say about upcoming blood drives.

SECRETARY PAT had many fine moments including failure to introduce our youngest Honorary Member, Hunter Hanks.

TODAY'S PROGRAM, introduced by the Prez, was Stefi Carter, a prosecutor with the DA's office. As is our custom, a book was donated to the Nellie McCall Library at the David McCall Elementary School in the speakers' name and duly signed by her.  The book, in keeping with the season,  was "Silent Night" - The Song and Its Story by Margaret Hodges <LINK>.

POLITELY LEAVING EARLY, after notifying the President, apologizing to the speaker and paying a fine, were Yvonne and Hunter Hanks and Sharon Lewis.

RUDELY COMING IN LATE was David Rippel [Aturkey-at-Law] from Plano West Rotary Club.
