This Week's Meeting
Speaker: Ted Hudgins
Topic: Nothing strikes fear in a person faster than being handed a wine list with 400+ selections and being told to pick out a wine (or 2) for the group. We will go over some helpful guidelines, set up a small decision matrix and point out some lesser known areas and wines which may be the hit of the dinner. We will also discuss how the sommelier may be your best friend and some food and wine combinations to avoid.
Member Photos
- Please see Jim Connell at today's meeting and ask him if he has a current photo of you for the District Database. We would like to have all member head shots in the same format so when our directory is published this winter it will have a clean, uniform appearance. Jim will take your photo on the spot.
Accounts Receivable
- October invoices will be 60 days past due on December 5. Those who are on the Accounts Receivable report 60 days past due should expect a second reminder email from our Executive Secretary, Sue Cobb, as well as a second reminder phone call from our Treasurer, Steve Stolz. The Board of Directors will actively discuss the escalating Accounts Receivable status of these individuals at our next board meeting.

Child's Gift of Giving
- The Holidays are just about here! December is just around the corner and I'd like to invite you to make plans to participate in our "Child's Gift of Giving" event. Gift of Giving is a partnership including our Club, the Germain automotive group and Friends of Foster Children of SW Florida.
On Sunday, December 11th, we plan to take aproximately eighty (80) foster care kids on a shopping trip to buy holiday gifts for their foster parents & siblings. We will be shopping at the Walmart just south of US 41 on 951 ( 6650 Collier Blvd).
The event begins at 8:30AM at the Walmart. Volunteers will meet at the Walmart & be paired up with a foster child (ages from about four to seventeen). The kids should bring shopping lists. Our job will be to guide them around the store & help them choose gifts while making sure they stay within budget & buy for everyone on their list. Funds are provided by the Germain family.
After shopping, the action moves to the Germain Honda dealership on Davis Blvd where there will be a gift wrapping party. We should be all done by about 12:30 or 1:00.
We are looking for lots of volunteers. Spouses, friends, etc are always welcome! Your kids are welcome, too, as long as they shop with an adult. BE THE FIRST ONE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET IN ON THIS GREAT OFFER!
Sign up now & avoid standing in a long line at next week's Club meeting. Email Ron Gustason now to get on list for this great event.

"The May 1957 issue of The Rotarian announced that people who donated $1,000 or more to the Foundation would earn Paul Harris Fellow recognition. In 2007, the Foundation celebrated the millionth Paul Harris Fellow by recognizing 34 individuals, one from each Rotary zone. Notable Paul Harris Fellows include former U,S, President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, United Nations Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, U.S. Astronaut James Lovell, and Jonas Salk, developer of the first polio vaccine. All were honored with donations in their name."
