Co-Chair of the Scholarship Committee, Bob Wood, introduced our guests. We were joined today by three recipients from East Hartford High. Logan Satalino, attending Clark University, Jadah Daley, attending UPENN/Wharton and Nadel Henville attending Emmanuel College. They spoke briefly of their aspirations, their future studies and the volunteer work they have done and will continue to do for the common good. This was the most inspiring part of the meeting for me.
Following this presentation was our own Dan Larsen. Back in form with the red bandanna around his arm and a fistful of dollars. He thanked Jack for subbing for him but felt the take was a little light. I personally will give more next time to put Jack back in his “happy place”. Here goes:
Marc Glass—for the Philadelphia Pigeons
Kevin—for his granddaughter’s recital
Bob Buettner—family birthdays and high honors attainment for a granddaughter
Bill Saunders—for a successful Goodwin meeting
Larry Hangland—no real reason except if he needs it (guilty conscience Larry?)
Jim Watts and Jairo Lemos—they were asking where are the Philly Flyers and Sixers?
Doug Willett—I will print this but if I left it empty, he is the editor so it would make its way into the report anyway.
At the NY Yankees office, if you call them, how many rings before they answer? 27 rings, count ‘em.
Alex and Nick Cecere paid as they were late.
George Agnelli paid as he was late. But Dan Larsen insisted he saw him walking from his car at 11:45 AM. That was cruel Dan. BTW, he’s been at Anderson Jewelers for 73 years—that is dedication, George, congratulations.
Marc asked Mary to come to the podium. He had a District Grant check for $2,000 based on our work at the Coats for Kids program. Awesome.
