Duck Barbecue ticket sales very important to get out there and sell. Most of us all have been given tickets to sell. If you have not received your tickets See Barbara Caldwell for small race tickets & barbecue tickets. Newt has big duck race tickets. A Good way to sell tickets is go to other club meetings and sell tickets there.

Deborah won the right to choose a card for the 50/50 game. She picked the 5 of hearts. We also had the Sergeants report.

President Steve said Dec. 27th 2007 is the 70th Anniversary of Moriches Rotary. Pretty impressive.

Muriel will be setting up and organizing programs for the meetings. If you know of any interesting programs please advise Muriel.

See you all Thursday night at the Carnival 5-9 PM.

That's all there is...................................................Joanne
