Southsider Quick Notes

Last week…
- Our ROD last week was Ken Williamson and our speaker was Scott Black of OK MOZART.

- A big welcome back to Dolly Dixon!

- We have our slate of new officers ready! (About time.)

- We have a potential member up for induction: Tim Douglas, classification Banking, proposed by John Slater. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

- Remember, dues are due.

- We had a classification talk from David Dopp, who is an undertaker.

- Here’s the weekly update on Biscuit Acres:

• - We need to match the funds that Randy has committed (see below). Pledge, network, whatever you need to do. Get donations from outside the club.
• - Those who contribute $125 or more will get a dog biscuit plaque. You can also sign up to sponsor benches and picnic tables.
• - The Jenks 9th graders have chosen the dog park as their 9th grade class project, so they will also be fundraising to help us out.
• - Randy Sullivan has committed up to $5,000 to Biscuit Acres for a challenge contribution to all members of Southside to COLLECTIVELY match his $5,000. Member contributions can be in the form of a pledge to the Southside Rotary Foundation and given to the Foundation over a period of months. $100 per person will get us there. Of course, a higher contribution will help those members who cannot do the $100. Members are encouraged to use the pledge form to receive commitments and contributions of all sizes from as many non-Rotarians as possible. Thank you, Randy, for this wonderful opportunity.
• - Remember, if you have any ideas or would like to help out in any way, let Don or John Benjamin know!

- Next week, our speaker will be David Dyson, Ph.D., talking about micro-banking in South America.
