Rachel’s cat Antigonenewsletter bombing-AGAIN!

Last time at the Beverly Rotary Club... ...Thursday, Apr. 9, 2020Meeting was called to order by Sarah Liporto at 1:16PM.

Pledge of Allegiance was led by Walt Hart-ford, followed by Freddi + Dianne leading us in song and an invocation led by Jack Good.

The following were guests ofthe Beverly Rotary club:Svenja WagnerFrancisco Grassetti

Visiting from other Rotary clubs were:Debbie Marcus, from Manchester Essex

Announcements:•We ended up with 40 units of blood from our Blood Drive; we had hoped for 23. The Red Cross was very impressed.•Rotary International and the District loos-ened grant guidelines so that Clubs can help their communities respond to COVID-19.•The concept is that whatever the Club gives, the District matches.•We have put in a request to the District for Beverly Bootstraps.•YMCA is asking us to reconsider our grant that usually goes towards summer reading—to be re-directed toward childcare for first responders.•Anyone who is ServSafe certified and wants

to help—there is a need there. •Sue Gabriel proposed a thank you letter campaign for Bootstraps work-ers. There would be some process whereby Rotarians write letters and

the letters themselves are quar-antined after being received.

They’d be distributed after a safe amount of time had passed.

Sergeant-at-Arms: Bill Beckman•Zoom backgrounds are a thing nowadays- you want a nice pristine one. Scott Dougherty was fined for having the sketchiest real-

life background in the club.•Peter Hersee’s

Zoom screen name—phersee—had Beckman thinking he might be a Pharisee during this Easter season.•Svenja was visiting virtually from Germany, where they have a very low rate of infection. So congrats to Svenja and Dr. Jamie can pay a fine for that.•In just the 5 minutes preceding the Sergeant’s fines, all of the following people touched their faces: Jo, both Diane’s, Jack, Sue, Leslie, Derek and Kim. DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACES!!!•We talked about ServSafe. Andrew DeFranza gets the award for Safe Time Served.•Brian Dapice joined our meeting from the car. He gets a fine for not doing carpool karaoke, James Corden-style.•Derek Maxfield. We appreciate that he was chewing with his mouth closed, but he still gets a fine for stuffing his face during the meeting.•We’ve lost too many wonderful people in our community to COVID-19. And the world has lost wonderful people too, like John Prine. So Beckman closed with an incredible COVID-19 anthem to the tune of Prine’s “Fish and Whistle,” which he renamed “Shelter in Place.” This humble scribe suggests that we get another performance when we join together again for our dueling pianos celebration.

Guest Speaker / Program:Leslie Gould gave a wonderful qualification presentation. Cliff Notes: She really loves Dr. Jamie and Al Temkin!Fun facts:Gemini, Lefty and has ADDMHTV TV Anchor producer and moreCape Ann was her favorite chamber, now its Greater Beverly Chamber of CommerceMike Jones is Day HusbandGrateful Dead #1 band but likes all music espe-cially 80’s.

“Shelter in Place” (sung to the tune “Fish and Whistle – John Prine)

I been thinking lately ‘bout the folks I used to meet

Now there’s no one on the corner and there’s no one in the street

So I’m stuck her on my sofa, all that I can do is eat

And I’m prayin’ that we’ll all be back tomorrow.

Father forgive us for what we must do

We’ll quarantine here we’ll think about you

We’ll sit here in our jammies till we both turn blue

Then we’ll shelter in our places in heaven.

I used to get up daily and go working at the store

But they closed up all the shops and can’t go there no more

So we’re sheltering in place - life is such a freakin’ bore

But they said we should be done by August

Placed in shelter, shelter in place

Getting’ so tired of my quarantine space

And if you go outside, put a mask on your face

Or we’re gonna have to do this again again? again?

Father forgive us for what we must do

We’ll quarantine here we’ll think about you

We’ll sit here in our jammies till we both turn blue

Then we’ll shelter in our places in heaven.
