Christmas party draws Rotary fun-lovers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This year's Christmas party at the Ajax Cafe proved to be an evening filled with good food, great friends, and the inescapable antics of the members (er, leaders) of the Rotary Club of East Jefferson County. Equipped with his powerful, but tiny, digital camera, Bud Babcock managed to capture some of the gang in action. (Thanks, Bud, for sharing these photos with us!) |

If the transformation continues and President-elect Don Young turns into a real crab, does that mean John Rodrigues has to be president for another year? |

Santa looks like he may have been planning some mischief on top of Chuck Boggs head. He probably decided otherwise. After all, if Santa gets stuck in a chimney, he'll need the fire chief to yank him out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Promote him to King of Sales, and John thinks he can sell anything. . . Actually, he did earn a tidy sum for the shirt from Connie Howland (who modeled the shirt for us in the photo to the right). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You gotta sing like you really
mean it when you're on stage with Santa. John Rodrigues and Linda Kostenbader
ensured their stockings would be full Christmas morning.

Pulling Santa's tassel is ONLY allowed if you are saving a fair damsel, like Judy Courtwright, from being Santa-napped and sent to the North Pole. (Santa's Workshop reported a shortage of creative elves this year.) |

A special moment. Jim Larimer admiring his wife, Ellin, when she was unaware. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"It's like this, Brian, we can go with Bill Howard to Guatemala and build houses. Then, we can ride my Harley back and still be here in time for the 2004 'Centennial Assembly', March 26-27, at the Mary Winspear Centre in downtown Sidney, British Columbia,"Dee Weinstein tried to convince Brian Belmont. (I don't think he bought it.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Students shine at Chimacum High School | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chimacum High School produces some fine young men and women. Each month, the Rotary Club of East Jefferson County honors two of the schools finest. The pair are nominated by their teachers and selected by their principal Rex Whipple. Citizenship, caring, responsibility, respect, honesty, fairness and academics are the characteristics sought. Recent "Students of the Month" are: |

Michelle
Glynn is the daughter of Port Hadlock’s
Bob and Debbie Glynn. She was nominated by librarian Debbie Dodd. "Michelle is a positive role model at our school. She is a member of the National Honor Society, where she is a willing volunteer for many projects where community service time is needed," Dodd wrote. "She is a natural helper and shows compassion toward others." |

Courtney Bailey, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephan Bailey of
Port Ludlow, was also nominated by Dodd. Tim McEvers, the son of Port Hadlock's John and Colleen McEvers,
was nominated by physics teacher Todd Miller. Kyle Locke is the son of Chimacum's Marty and Leslie Locke. Teacher
Luke Snyder, who's had him as a student for the last three years, nominated
him. (Interesting tidbits: Librarian Debbie Dustin
Dodd and teacher Luke Snyder are both Chimacum grads, as is parent Leslie
Seil Locke, who was
Miss Chimacum, circa 1980.) |

Need a makeup? Try E-Club One | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rotary's first Internet-based club, "Rotary eClub One" (District 5450), has made it a goal to serve all Rotarians. The club has designated the ability for others to make up missed Rotary club meetings as its international service project. And, yes, the Rotary Club of East Jefferson County does honor a make-up through Rotary eClub One. Chartered in January 2002, Rotary eClub One had had 8,000 make-ups before the printing of a June 2003 article in The Rotarian. The site now says more than 11,000 Rotarians have used its service. Make-ups are made by reading one of the informational programs on the site and completing the make-up request form. On it, you'll discuss the program you read, including how it might relate to your home club's activities. You'll also be asked to suggest topics for future makeup programs. |
