Bill reports on his first meeting as Lindenhurst's president 2008-2009... I felt the excitement of the year ahead growing at my first meeting, this past Thursday, that also doubled as our awards ceremony.  I presided over the event with the honor and the joy of what Rotary is all about.  Here's what took place: 1 - Lindenhurst Rotary Club presented checks for four scholarships to deserving students who are off to college. 2 - Lindenhurst Rotary Club presented checks to seven food pantries and recognized their hard work. 3 - I held my first board meeting (on the spot) which resulted in a vote to present a check to Suffolk Literacy for the first time, and also recognized the fine work they are doing. 4 - We also recognized the accomplishments of our members who worked, and continue to work, on our international mission with the Doctors from N. Vietnam. 5 - We had a RYLA speaker that just stole the show... he single-handedly raised community awareness of Rotary and its affect on young leaders. We had a great buffet lunch and a fellowship finally - it was a great first meeting!
