 Carolyn  Holloway        Thank   you,   Carolyn,   for  hosting   a   get-­‐acquainted  social   for   new   members   in  your   home.     The   nuts   and  bolts   of   Rotary   were  explained   by   President   Bob    Elam  and  others.      The   Anniversary   Dinner          Many  of  us  celebrated  our  17th  anniversary     as   a  Rotary   club  in   Sun   City.     Some   of   the  highlights  included  President  Bob     Elam   inducting   our  newest   member,   Rhonda  Conklin.     She  was   sponsored  by  Lou  Gibson.          Adaire  Wolf  was  presented    with   the   Gaz   Green   Service  Above   Self     Award.   It   was  well-­‐deserved.     Adaire   and  her   husband,   David,   have  attended     all   seventeen  anniversary  dinners.        Mike   Bell   entertained   the  audience   with   a   magic   show.  Mike’s   parents   were   part   of  the   crowd.   His   mom   related  that    when  Mike  was  growing  up   there   was   never   a   dull  moment  in  their  home.
