Before this week’s meeting, President Sandy accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge from her son Chris Foster, who preceded her in ice water drenching by a challenge from our own Nick Mears.

The evening’s fundraising began with a raffle to obtain the right to drench President Sandy with a bucket of ice water. Jeanne Tunnicliffe bought the very last ticket, just before the opportunistic drawing picked her winning stub. Feeling remorseful from the chance charity, Jeanne offered up her mischance for cash.

With cold cash in hand, Sarah Baron (past Charter Member) offered $20.00 to perform the horrific duty of dumping the bucket of ice upon the obligatory President Sandy. All was well, and President Sandy survived the challenge. Ah! But wait!

Seeing how much President Sandy seemed to enjoy her thorough wetting, Lynn Hall offered up another $50.00 to saturate her Rotary President with another dose of dousing. The entire night netted $135.00.

All this attention-getting activity is designed to attract awareness for (ALS) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and its fund-raising possibility. President Sandy has offered to donate to ALS as well as MS (close to her heart) and to Polio Plus (where Bill Gates, already having been doused, will match dollar for dollar to Polio Plus contributions).
