Gary Riedlinger was kind enough to step in on a few hours notice when the scheduled speaker could not make the meeting. Gary shortened the tax talk he gives for Yeo and Yeo so that he could hit the high points that would be of interest.
Of course the most interesting of these points of the talk dealt with changes to the tax code that might affect Rotarians. Everyone took special note of the rates for those making over $400,000... even it it was only to look with wishful eyes. More interest was paid to those rates and changes which touch everyone.
The talk was very well received but was too technical to re-cap in the venue of a newsletter. Therefore we can only say "individual cases may vary. See your tax advisor concerning your own situation."
CLUB NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
BOARD MEETING THIS WEEK
The Board will meet this Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
11:00 am at the Doubletree, before the regular meeting.
An e-mail announcement will be sent to ALL MEMBERS as every member is welcome to attend.
Lee Newton reminded members about the
Rotary Rocks Concert, which will be held April 11. Tickets are $10 each or $20 for patrons. Lee ran down the list of some of the great acts that will be performing, including the Hughes Elementary Fourth Grade Choir, The Central High Senior Choir, Jeff Yantz and the Noname String Band, The Toyz, Lee and Molly Newton, and Rob Clark.
President Kim spoke up to remind everyone of another act of distinction:
Mac Quinn, the president of the Morning Rotary is anticipated to sing for every one's entertainment and enjoyment. This assumes that our club wins the fund raising contest... which seems all but assured at this time.
Andrea Hales is selling tickets as well as ads in the program. Rotarians are encouraged to tell your friends, and family to come. Talk to Andrea if you'd like to sell tickets.
See the club web site for more information.
Kim also said to be sure you buy
clean water bracelets!
Everyone wearing a bracelet to the Concert will be entered into a drawing for a "brand new, still in the box, Google Chrome Computer".
COUNT ON IT!
You don't want to miss this fun evening!
Andrea Hales passed out "Anatoily's wish list" from our current exchange student. The items listed range from eye care (to be donated by member Dr. Lee Newton) to "Try sushi". Be sure to see Andrea if you'd like to give Anatoily some uniquely Michigan experiences!
