ANNOUNCEMENTS

I would like to announce that this years auction has raised $25,000.00. A special thanks all of the committee members that made this happen. Denise Flynn, David Wescott, Keith Linares, Mary Ann Lyons, George Orfaly, Marie Gagnon, and Randy Burba.

President John would like to recognize Denise Flynn who is this month's Rotarian of the month. Denise has lives in Beverly with her husband, daughter Kelsey 17 and Connor 15. She is a graduate of Skidmore College and has a masters from Smith College. Denise is the Director of Development at NSMC and PT ballet teacher. In her spare time she enjoys dance and spinning. Denise is very active in Rotary ans serves on many committees and boards. Her favorite Rotary activity was given dictionaries to 3rd graders at the Saltonstall school. Her funniest memory was wearing a Winnie the Pooh costume at the DSS party many years ago. If she was stranded on a deserted island she would want to be accompanied by her family, music, water and some good tools.

Welcome Home Brenda Smith who spent that past several months working out on the West Coast.
