Don Haack (Donald Haack Diamonds) chairs our Rotary Foundation.  Don proudly advised us that our club was recognized at the Rotary Foundation dinner for having made the largest contribution for the district.   We're very proud and hope to make an even larger contribution next year!

Brian Schick had us chuckling at his Health & Happiness report, especially as it pertained to King Hussein and a young friend of Brian's.   (Pardon us, Brian, but are those diamond studs we see on your tie???)

We were honored to have a large delegation of visiting Rotarians (note president Worth Williamson accepting an exchange banner) and guests, including twelve visitors from our Sister City, Limoges, France. 

President Worth Williamson (Edmiston Investing Consulting Group), John Tabor (Tabor & Associates and Chair of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission), Martin Waters (Waters, Inc.) and Tom O'Brien (Providence Real Estate Advisors) all comprised an impressive head table.

John Nicolay (Bovis Construction Corporation), Mac McCarley (City of Charlotte Legal Eagle) and Sadler Barnhardt (where do we start with the contributions this man makes to our community???) form the other half of our top-notch head table roster.

Banners, banners, and more banners. Rotarians love to exchange banners of friendship!

Al Allison (Allison Fence Company) and Bob Freedman (BellSouth) listen to Tom Robertson invite our members to sign up to ring the Salvation Army's Christmas bells at the Square at lunchtime between Dec. 1 -23.  It's not too late;  call Tom at 364-1740 and put   your name on the list.  All you'll need is a smile and a good "ringing motion!"

Ronnie Pruett (International Law Extraordinnaire) conversed with Herb Harriss' guests:  Abdul Rahman Bin Jassim Al-Thani (Management Director of City Cntre Trading & Contracting Co. in Doha-Qatar and cousin of the Amir of the country of Qatar), LaDonna A.
