Jack Connor led the pledge and said the prayer. What could have been a big coup from the amateur ranks fell just short with a seemingly cat got your tongue or deer n the headlights pause. In a valiant attempt to carry it off Connor tried to recover with a call for a moment of silence but that horse was already out of the barn. It was a great effort though and a less skilled orator would have wilted. In spite of the shameless travel agent plug and wish for snow, the committee awarded Jack a 9.4 for the effort. BTTB is conducting a survey among readers to determine not only how many people read this rag, but, what your opinion is of the multiple gong method, currently employed by his nibs, of calling the weekly meetings to order. If you approve of this method and wish to see it continued, please e-mail me  HYPERLINK "mailto:holdenhunt@aol.com" holdenhunt@aol.com and respond in the affirmative. If, on the other hand, you feel this is too loud and annoying for early AM events please respond to  HYPERLINK "mailto:holdenhunt@aol.com" holdenhunt@aol.com and express your displeasure with a simple NO WAY JOSE Savvas interrupted with the introduction of Dennis Chick, distributor for Sysco Foods who donated 24 Turkeys for us to distribute to needy families. VISITORS AND GUESTS: Mark Bernier, reports that there were 30 Rotarians present today and sadly missing was his replacement as official greeter Kathleen Deville. SERGEANT AT ARMS: Duncan Leith: George Vogel reminded to all Rotarians attending the jail tour that we will be meeting at the Manor at 5:00pm this Wednesday the 29th. We will then proceed to the jail for dinner and a tour of the facility. We have the following Rotarians registered for the tour. Malone, Traina, Haggar, Oriol, Parker, Walsh, Oliver, Sullivan, Hiller, Curran, Connor, Sark, Milluzzo, Andrews, Hough, and Vogel. If you have registered and now find that you cannot attend, please let us know because the jail needs a firm count for dinner. If you have not registered and would like to go, please let us know... Duncan, while returning from Maine, saw Wayne-O wrestling with the previously mentioned BTTB 11/10 twin bucks. Rickshaw, overjoyed by the success of the West Boylston girls soccer team. Rick Cranshaw, happy to be reuniting with an old Army buddy on an excellent adventure in Las Vegas. Jack Connor offered a congratulatory dollar for the great work D-Leith has done with the High School. Joe Sullivan, still fretting over seating, tossed in a buck for the smooth operation of the homing devices that take members back to their regular tables. Joni was sad that nobody saves Joe as seat. Richard Traina observes that his daughter, who has threatened to leave home upon reaching her eighteenth birthday, let that milestone come and go and she didnt. Steve Groccia, happy to be sitting next to Joe Sullivan. Duncan, happy we didnt have to assemble the bicycles ourselves. Thanks Wal-Mart. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jim Oliver has accepted a new position as Administrator of The Odd Fellows Home on Randolph Road in Worcester. Jim begins his new opportunity on December 1st after serving many years as administrator at Wachusett Extended Care in Holden. We are exploring a possible trip to Foxwoods as a club social event. The nominating committee will meet briefly each week following breakfast. November is Rotary Foundation month and Joe Sullivan noted the foundation, created in 1917 has grown its endowment from $26.50 per year in 1917 to $117.9 million in 2004-5. Hopefully we can contribute individually to those numbers this year. Rotary alone has contributed almost six hundred million dollars toward the worldwide eradication of Polio. We have one new Paul Harris fellow among us and that person will be recognized at a future meeting. UPCOMING SPEAKER CHAIRS DATE SPEAKER CHAIR SPEAKER December 1st Club Assembly December 8th Jack Curran December 15th Carrie Dolmat-Connell December 22nd Club Assembly December 29th Richard Cranshaw GUEST SPEAKER: Jack Connor introduced his speaker Dave Abraham, assistant trainer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Dave, a resident of Holden, was athletic trainer for WPI for many years before being selected by J.P. Ricciardi to join the Blue Jays organization. Dave shared insights into the workings of a major league baseball team. YOUR ROTARY JOKES Submit entries to BTTB by e-mail  HYPERLINK "mailto:holdenhunt@aol.com" holdenhunt@aol.com This weeks winner submitted by: Pete Garabedian Rick Walsh was driving through Northern Arizona when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped his RV and asked the Navajo man if he would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the man got into the RV. Resuming the journey,Rick tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo man. The old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Rick. "What in bag?" asked the old man. Ricklooked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine.. I got it for my Wife." The Navajo man was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said: "Good trade....."
