Senior Center BBQ

Nine Rotarians from the Charlotte-Shelburne Rotary Club turned out on the early
evening of August 24th at the Charlotte Senior Center to help with service of
the annual BBQ for seniors of Charlotte and Shelburne. This is one of the two
annual events that our Rotary Club performs for the Charlotte Senior Center and
it is always a great deal of fun. The camaraderie of the crew brings the same
volunteers back year after year. The joy they have in serving is reflected by the
any expressions of thanks we get from the diners. We all got a real buzz from
our service.


Our members helped in the presentation and service of the food, which is
prepared and cooked by members of the community. Our Rotarians provide the
support that makes it all run smoothly and efficiently. It seems that almost every
time there is a challenge to overcome. This year’s puzzle was how to unjam a
drawer stuffed with eating utensils. Our resident (and community) locksmith, Bill
Deming, rose to the fore and with help from numerous others and managed to
free the errant utensils.


Serving this year were: Denny Bowen, Elaine Dates, Stephen Dates, Bill Deming,
Linda Gilbert, Colleen Haag, John Hammer, Dave Jonah, and Pat Sokolowski
