Volume XXVI                                                              Issue # 39                                              April 25, 2005

Putting isn’t Golf.  Greens should be treated almost the same as water hazards:  you land on them then add two strokes to your score. – Chi Chi Rodriguez

Time to meet with the Ripon Rotary Club.  Every Monday at 12:00 noon at Royal Ridges.  Good fellowship and good food.

Greeter and prayer today:  David Sakrison – volunteer.

Our President – Jean Busker

Guests    (1) Pepin Meirhofer – older brother and guest of Laurie Kasuboski

(2) Vicky Wuest – wife and guest of hubby Tim.

(3) Juan Pablo Penelosa – Inbounder from Venezuela

(4) Megan Percy – R.H.S. student of month.

Megan & Juan Pablo performed a quick, little dance step, enjoyed by all at the recent

RHS musical.

Announcements:                (1) Jean read a note of thanks from Pat Schaub, for the roses she received on our Rose Day.

(2) Bill Woolley told all of the death of Janko Thysons’s father, Thomas, very sudden, of a heart

Attack at age 55.  Janko was our inbounder a few years ago.

(3) Try to get to the meeting early next week, as the Bird Lady and 30 students will be here for

the program.

(4) Sue Finch Brown still seeking host parents for our new inbounder of Germany.

Sgt. at Arms – Lee rendered a taste of the SAT’s.  I’m glad we had Prof. Woolley at our table, we scored 100%,

So there!!

Happy 48th Anniversary to Joan and Howard Nault on April 22.  Bless you both and your great children.

Program:  Tim Wuest, Ripon Rotarian, presented an interesting program on Mining Industries Minerals, What are they, where are they , and what they do.

As Tim said:  Everything we have and use is either grown in the soil by agriculture, or is mined from the earth.  Tim’s company, Badger Mining, is the 5th largest producer of Industrial Silica Sand in the USA, with mines at Fairwater, WI., Taylor, WI., St. Marie, WI., Nevada, and Poland in Europe.  The Nevada facility mines Zeolite, a unique mineral that allows air to pass through but not moisture or water.  Zeolite has many uses in  Water softeners, waste water treatment, Aquariums, Odor control, Animal litter, Double glass windows, etc.

Thanks Tim for a fine program and your projectionist, Vicki did an excellent job too!!

Next Week:  Greeter and prayer – Larry Trotter.

Program – Jeff Liddicoat presents “The Bird Lady” and friends.

Thought for any day:  God help me get through this day and do the work I have scheduled.  Direct me so that I will use my time effectively and wisely.  Amen.

It is more blessed to give than to receive and it’s deductible.
