PITTSFIELD ROTARY CLUB   5-27-09

Guest:  Fred Bradshaw with Carole

Visiting Rotarian:  Ed Brokaw, Texas

Friday, at the Rotary District Confe3rence, Pittsfield’s Rotary Club gained two new Rotary Fellows:

  Debbie Dugan and Gary Woods.  Congratulations!!!!

Walter Lamb and Chuck Barber ‘made-up’ at Louisiana< MO, where there was no meeting,  because they were having an evening get-together….so, apparently they wrote the visit out on the proverbial napkin once more….anyhow, they tried….give them credit…

Carole Bradshaw reported a total of $7,205.00 in ads were sold for Rotary Radio Day….

The club was congratulated for a job well done, both in being on the air and selling ads….

President-in-training, Jan Bleich again did an excellent job of filling in for President Debbie, who was again in court on the job.  (Jan should have enough training filling in for Debbie from this year to do a superb job starting in July)……

Program:  Kent Wasson introduced Jack Hull, President of the Pike County Little League.

Jack first,  congratulated Julie Boren on getting one kid married.

He then stated that Little League was started by three men with foresight, 52 years ago…Johnson Stilwell, Jean T Casteel and Ab Ransom.  (Two were Rotarians).

There are now 22 teams in Pike County, and they have now started ‘T-Ball’, with 3 teams in this lst year.

Little League gives children a chance to play further even going on to All-State. They are now using machine pitch to the little kids, as ‘coach pitch’ was too varied,

Little League is played on Tuesday and Thursday nights, with Tuesday and Fridays for the little kids.  

Over 200 children are currently involved, having fun and training.

Pittsfield Little League Diamond is one of the best in the area….does need some refreshment stand up-dating…..

Thanks Jack, for an excellent up-date on our Little League program…!
