The BBQ lives on...maybe?

There was great back and forth at the meeting today about what we could do to make the BBQ better. Many people thought it had gotten stale and almost run it's course (in it's present state) but everyone seemed willing share their opinions and pitch in to plan for '08! I don't think I've seen so many people sign up for a committee in a long time! This is great news...we've been doing this for so long that it would be a shame to see it go away so let's band together to make it new and shiny! If you're interested in helping on this committee please email Dave Juliano - and yes I know he won't necessarily read these emails until we prompt him to do so - someone remind me next week!! This blog is public so until I get his permission to put his email address up here you'll have to look it up on the membership list. also, you can email me at carly811@sbcglobal.net if you want me to send it to you.

Yours in Rotary,
Carlene

Welcome to the Wallingford Rotary Blog!

Hi everyone! I'd like to use this space to share our ideas and photos and comments throughout the year. As we add new stuff the old stuff will move to the bottom. You can add comments, participate in polls or just check in to see what's new!

The Wallingford Rotary Barbecue

As president-elect Matt Bailey was our leader this year and he did a great job! First thing this morning he showed up with coffee and donuts!! That makes the day a winner in our books! The BBQ is held the first Wednesday of August every year and we've been doing it for almost 80 years! It was hot today (8/1) but not as humid as last year. We (Anthony, Carlene and Steve R) started the day at 7 a.m. and as people arrived Anthony passed out our new "Pit Crew" t-shirts which have gotten nicer each year! We are probably the best-dressed sweaty group of men and womAn (only one) ever to cook a chicken!
