ANNUAL REPORT OF ROTARY ANNS

The Rotary Anns has had some very innovative programs this year.
The 1979-80 theme has been "Beauty, Wealth, Health and Happiness" and all programs
aimed at the theme were planned by Bev Hoisington.

The initial program in September was a brunch prepared by the board at Woodbrook
Clubhouse. In November a spectacular fashion show was planned by Nick Aron of Nawrot
Pendleton Sportswear and by Geneva Salyer from Geneva's Bridal Salon and involving many
other Plymouth businesses and people. The models for the show, held in the Plymouth
Hilton Inn, included many Rotary Anns and their daughters.

February's program featured Tom Kelly from Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith
speaking on "Women Investing in the Stock Market". This talk was followed up with four
additional sessions at Merrill Lynch by Mr. Kelly. Diane Farber of Plymouth Family Services
presented an enlightening talk on alcoholism in March and the last program in May featured
Denny Campbell and Woody Lynch with a video-tape presentation.

The board of directors for this year were: Jan Carney, president; Bev Hoisington, vice-
president; Marlene Somers, secretary; Lois Taylor, treasurer; Sharon Armbruster, social chair;
Joan Ford, membership; Lorraine Jarvis, Sunshine chair; Anna Van Hull, pie sale; Judy
Morgan, good works chair; Rita Feldkamp, Susan Schrader and Bev Corp as members-at-
large. Ginny Morrison helped with the newsletter and Gail La Riche served as immediate
past president.

Another special feature this year was Bev Hoisington's arrangement to have Dr. Helen
Tanner speak to the Rotary Club on November 9, 1979. Word was received in March that
Dr. Tanner has been recognized for her work with American Indians by Carl Pursell and has
been written up in the Congressional Record.

The receipts from the Rotary Ann Pie Sale were distributed by Judy Morgan and Sally
Peterson as follows: Plymouth Symphony, $100; Growth Works, $100; Plymouth Youth
Symphony, $100; Plymouth Community Council on Aging, $100; Salvation Army, $150;
Our Lady of Providence, $200; and, WISER, $50. The four tickets the Rotary Anns received
from the Plymouth Symphony were donated to the residents of Tonquish Creek Manor.

The final project for the year was the annual picnic planned for all Rotarians and
Rotary Anns at 3:00 p.m. June 14 at the home of Gail and Lou LaRiche.

It has been a pleasure serving you this year,
