Acts of Kindness = Sustained Happiness
Early Bird Rotary has identified the Brideway Food Pantry as a service project.  Once per month, we will stock their pantry. 
 
MAKE SURE TO BRING YOUR FOOD ITEMS THE END OF MAY!!
 
FOR MAY WE WILL PROVIDE:  Garbage Bags, Hairbrushes, even toddler car seats!! 
 
How about fresh, canned, or frozen meats???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 ANOTHER CHANCE TO SERVE:  Sheboygan  Downtown Rotary was 'rained out' on their day of painting for Rebuilding Together.   Talk to Greg Liebig or email him:  greg@4squarehi.com
 
Gandhi observed, 'Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other.  If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will streadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.'
LAST WEEK'S PROGRAM--THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR!!
Guests:   None.   Our incoming President, Alex did another  fine job of filling in for Greg.   We were asked to consider helping Sheboygan DT Rotary as they strive to complete painting from their Rebuilding Together Day.  The County Historical Park behind the museum is also in need of some clean up work.   Nominations for Rotarian of the Year should be given to Bob Imig or Paul Stenklyft. bimig@tds.net    pstenklyft@rwbaird.com  Our scholarships have been presented to this year's Seniors.  
Our program was Tricia Marton who treated us during our breakfast dining with music by some of her students.  Tricia has worked in Classical Radio doig education programs for their listeners.   Tricia has a Bachelor's and a Master's in Music.    She has served as a choir director, adjunct faculty, in a variety of educational settings and has a real passion to develop and enhance the love of music that in each of us, particularly young people.  Tricia teaches at JMKAC, in Manitowoc and works with individuals and groups in her home.   Running her own business is a challenge since she is a part time accountant, secretary, marketing/pr person, program developer, parent educator, web master -- and see still has time to volunteer in Rotary, the community, and her church.   Her true love is her students, several of whom have written their compositions and performed them.
 
Tricia will be performing various pieces of music this coming Saturday afternoon at First Congregational Church, 310 Bluff Avenue.

FROM THE FOUNDATION TREASURER TO YOUR EYES
A reminder for all members from Ed Morgan that time is flying for getting in your Every Rotarian Every Year donations.  Hopefully everyone can make a $100 per year contribution to keep the wonderful work of Rotary going.  If you pay a donation with every dues payment, please get the 4th quarter dues in, so Ed can forward the Every Rotarian Every Year portion before June 30, the fiscal year end.  Also, if anyone wants to achieve the PHF level (or multiple PHF) in order to get one of those neat PHF pins with a rock in it, get the money in soon so there's time to order for the June party presentations.                                      Ed Morgan, CPA
