September 29, 2009 Meeting Notes










Joyce Brown was inducted into the club membership by President Al Fullerton. He shared with Joyce and the members what Rotary is not and what Rotary is. Rotary is not a political, charitable or a religious organization. Rotary IS an organization of business and professional people pledged to upholding the highest professional standards based on “The Four Way Test.”
We all welcome Joyce as a Fellow Rotarian.

Jason Troutwine, Director of Reid Hospital Foundation, conducted a question and answer session. Areas discussed included hospital food and patient selection, robotic surgery technology, and the Art to Heart event which is presently being planned for its 18th year. He noted that the project shares profits with the Richmond art museum. Other items discussed included utilization of hospitalists at Reid and the incidence of H1N1. Troutwine gave a brief overview of the Foundation, citing its history, board makup, and total dollars raised by the foundation since its inception in 1975. jlk

We held our first official meeting at our new meeting place, Little Sheba’s. A good time was had by all.






Even Matt Stegall walked down to the meeting. We sure were glad to see and talk with him again.
