Minutes by Mitch Tillett
Our first meeting of the year was called to order by President Garry at 12:15 p.m.

Al Baker, as a side note, graced the crowd with a festive "cigar garment". President Garry Brinton opened the meeting by heckling Mr. Hostetter about his attendance.

We had four visitors to Rotary including Bishop Baxter. Linda Freedenberg was recognized for her 10 years of service as the Harrisburg Rotary Club's Executive Director.

Next Dr. John Judson gave a report on Rotary International. John also presented four Paul Harris Awards to J. Michael Love, Al Baker, Hasu Shah and Bill Murray.

Next Bill Boles was honored as the new Club Treasurer. Two new members were welcomed into the club, John Hickey and Charles Wingate. (Be sure to say hello to them at the next Club Meeting.)

Doug Peiper introduced our program which was Dr. Robert Siemers, pianist. Bob teaches piano at the Milton Hershey Schools. He performed music from Bach to Beethoven. Two words to describe his recital ----"simply wonderful." Bob concluded his performance with a story about a student from Milton Hershey School. He described it as the turning moment of his teaching career. Bob stated his reason for his performing today was to initiate a personal goal to perform concerts throughout the Central Pennsylvania Area.

The meeting was a great start to our Rotary year.
