Fellow Rotarians,
The speaker at our next meeting will be Professor Richard M. Ebeling, Ph.D., chairman of the
department of economics and business administration at
Bill Currie, who is on the Board of Directors of Gift of Life and will
become president of our legendary Rotary Club 2005 – 2006, recently sent me the
following message about the next Gift of Life event:
Matts,
Our District 7230 is
celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Gift of Life in our district with a
dinner dance on Valentine's Day, Saturday, February 14th. This grand
celebration will be held at the Westchester Marriott in
It should be a great
night with two outstanding honorees, Joseph Campanella as Master of Ceremonies
(star of stage and television), and the music of the Norm Hathaway Band (jazz
and swing music). The best part is that the money raised will go to
helping save other people through the Gift of Life program in our district.
I expect that our club
will be able to fill several tables to support this important Rotary
cause. Cost is $125 per person or $1,125 per table of 10(one
complimentary ticket for a full table). For more information contact Bill
Currie at 914-828-8640 or at william_currie@swissre.com.
Regards,
Bill Currie
