Notice: Our annual Oyster Roast will be held on Saturday, February 1.

We will have bundles of tickets (and singles too) available at each Rotary meeting for members to take for themselves, family, friends, neighbors and business associates. Tickets in advance are only $45, as opposed to $55 day of event. Please consider reaching out to friends, neighbors, family to see who wants advance tickets. You can take a bundle (or two) to sell and either return the money or the unsold tickets to Dot Jeger, before the Oyster Roast on February 2. You do not have to pay for the tickets in advance.

 

 

Wednesday we had the pleasure to hear from one of our very own members, Dr. Rob Darling.  Dr. Darling served for 25 years in the Navy as a flight surgeon and emergency medicine physician retiring at the grade of Captain in 2006.  In 1996 Captain Darling was selected as the first emergency medicine physician to serve the President of the United States at the White House, President Bill Clinton.  He provided medical support services to the President, the Vice President, the Cabinet and their families as they traveled the world aboard Air Force One and Marine One from 1996 to 1999.  Dr. Darling spoke about how Air Force One has private quarters for the medical doctors that is equipped with two beds and is considered their own personal space.  In addition, he recounted a story when John Glenn was in outer space and wanted to send an email to President Clinton.  The message wound up being sent through Dr. Darling's personal AOL email address as President Clinton at the time was unable to facilitate the communication.  Part of Dr. Darlings presentation displayed several photos of his time in the White House and on Air Force one and included the signed email communication that was penned by both President Clinton and John Glenn.  Thank you Dr. Darling for a fascinating presentation!
