SOUTH GATEWAY ROTARY CHANGES ITS WEEKLY MEETING LOCATION & DAY!

As of Tuesday, January 31, 2012, South Gateway Rotary Club will be moving its weekly meeting from Thursdays to Tuesdays and from The Landing Restaurant to Logan's Restaurant located at 1320 E. Ireland Road, South Bend, IN 46614. Here is the message from our President concerning these changes:

 

FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

Fellow Rotarians,

The Board met Thursday after our regular meeting to discuss moving to a different location. This has nothing to do with The Landing for any thing they might have done or didn’t do. I believe everyone can attest to the fact that The Landing’s food and service has be tremendous. It’s a question of dollars and cents. We can’t continue to pay for those who don’t show up and The Landing surely can’t be making any money on us. With that in mind, we’ve decided to try Logans on Ireland Road. We will be in their room called “The Garage” and each person will ordering off the menu and be responsible for their own bill. We will try them for two weeks then evaluate. The dates tentatively are January 19 and January 26 (for the first two meetings at Logan's, our new location, with day of the weekly meeing changed to Tuesdays as of Janaury 31, 2012). More will be discussed at next week’s meeting, so please plan to attend.

Thanks, Jerry Hunt.

THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER

A special thank you to all involved in the spaghetti dinner. Your help in setting up, taking down and selling tickets was absolutely great. At this time I am not sure what the fund raiser netted but once we total it up, I will let everyone know.

ALSO
We are moving the club assembly meeting to 11-10 (this Thursday). Please try to attend, as we need everyone’s input.

ALSO, ALSO
I had the chance over the last couple of weeks to visit the Down Town Club and the Roseland Club to promote the fundraiser. One thing I found out instantly--we are more funner (no such word) than all. Those folks are stuffed shirts! Anyway, note of interest, Roseland Club had several member come Thursday night. I thought was really good of them!

ALSO, ALSO, ALSO

Don’t forget the annual dues are due. If you are having a problem, see Penny or myself and we’ll work out a payment option.

………Thanks, Jerry Hunt
