Bodacious Baked Goods ... Going, Going, Gone! From Emily Jernigan
The elves have been busy in the kitchen, and are bringing all sorts of baked goodies to Rotary next week (December 16) for a mini-fundraiser/fun and delicious raffle.
You must be present to win! We'll have about 20 items, ranging from cakes to cookies and beyond, for you to take a chance on. You'll never get anything this good this cheap again. Bring your spouse or a friend to join in the fun.
All proceeds go to support ORBRC's projects.
Dictionary Results and More Needs From Jim Bradbury
1. ORBRC volunteers have completed presenting the books to every third-grader in the Anderson County Schools(for the fourth year) well before Thanksgiving. Congratulations to all the enthusiastic presenters. The noon Rotarians are delivering to the City of Oak Ridge Schools, and Clinton Rotarians are delivering to the City of Clinton schools.
3. Thank you to Information International Associates! IIa has stepped up for the second year to provide the dictionaries for all of the Scott County schools.This will allow ordering the books soon. Breakfast Club members and families can volunteer to go to Scott County and make the presentations. We will again team with Rogers Penfield of the West Knoxville Rotary Club for part of the presentation team as a recruiting effort that Rogers is working on to start a Rotary Club in Scott County.
In case you missed it — Dec. 2, 2009, highlights by Pat Imperato
Editor's Note: The PR/Communications Committee is working to provide a synopsis of each week's meeting for those who weren't able to attend and for those who WERE present who might have missed a detail or two. If you'd like to help by "covering" a meeting once in a while, please let Pat Powell (email ppowell@infointl.com) know you are interested. And, yep, writing UP a meeting can count for a meeting makeup (one of those "service to the club" things!).
Announcements
Happy Dollars - $38 this week
Program John Wheeler introduced Hugh Ward, the assistant district attorney for the US Circuit Court in Knoxville. Hugh has lived in Oak Ridge since 1991. He has been John's guest for a number of meetings and John told us that Ward has been proposed for membership in our Club.
Ward spoke about the notable cases he or his office have been involved with locally, including busting the Market Square drug operation, the selling of secret materials to the French (who being on our side ratted the perpetrator out), and the professor who was careless with allowing access to his laptop with billions of dollars of technical secrets while traveling in China. They are all now guests of the federal government.
When asked certain questions about his personal views on sensitive issues, Ward gave the "official response," which is all that he is allowed to do while under the employ of the Federal Prosecutor's Office. Hugh plans to retire at the end of the month to go into private practice. The audience asked that he share his opinions with us next month.
Watch this space -- we'll catch up on birthdays and club anniversaries soon!

$5 gets you 5 tickets/5 chances, and we're aiming for 100% participation. The more tickets you buy, the better your chances.
2. We need to replace the anonymous donor of the first two years for the third year at the Morgan County Schools. We could obtain the needed $450 for year three with nine donors of $50 each, and/or fewer donors if some give more, and/or a larger number of donors if many club members want to donate in smaller amounts. We will be taking names and money at the December 9 Breakfast meeting. Volunteers to make the presentations are already being heard from.
