Rushville Rotary met Tuesday in the Kenneth L. Earnest Conference Center at Rush Memorial Hospital.

President Jason Clemmons called the meeting to order. Pam Peggs led the Pledge of Allegiance. Ralph Mitchell provided an invocation.

Pam Leisure was the Mystery Person. Her pick for the free lunch was President Jason.

Jason Forms introduced his guest, Joe Grygiel.

It was noted that the club’s banners, including a new Four Way Test banner, which were all originally lost in the Park Restaurant fire, have been replaced. A new badge box and badges were also present.

Debbie O’Neal handled Brag for a Buck duties and was the first to boast. The River Princess actually had three brags: that her oldest daughter is getting married, that he dad would soon celebrate his 91st birthday, and that she was headed to Georgia and Alabama to vacation, golf and generally misbehave. Brad Buening bragged about showing up for this week’s meeting in the company of two lovely ladies. Ralph Mitchell bragged about the good care he recently received at Rush Memorial Hospital. Nancy Rice boasted on Purdue basketball. Jason Forms bragged about Butler basketball. Bill Griffis paid $1 to brag about the Lady Lions and their great season. Lastly, John Worth said he was soon headed to Arizona to watch a little Cactus League baseball.

Speaking of John Worth, he was up next, serving as this week’s Sergeant-At-Arms. He tried to fine everyone who wasn’t rooting for the Lady Lions $1 but couldn’t fine anyone who fit that description. He then fined Paul Barada Sr. for running for a school board seat.

President Jason reminded everyone about a board meeting at noon March 19 in the third floor conference room at RMH.

He also asked John Worth to bring everyone up to date about the upcoming Global Study Exchange (GSE) visit by a group from The Netherlands.

It was noted that Rotary will again this year conduct a raffle with a $5,000 grand prize. Additional details will be forthcoming.

All agreed this year’s Top 10 Banquet (which is actually a Top 40 Banquet) went well and club members spent a few minutes brainstorming potential ideas to make next year’s event even better.

Lastly, Nancy Bennett reported on the club’s Rotary Has A Heart campaign recently held in conjunction with the End Polio Now program.
