Good crowd, beautiful weather and an excellent meal from Country Harvest set the tone for great Lincoln Rotary meeting.  Lots of Happy Bucks participant. We had a Bellringer from Howard Stagg (Arden Arcade but a frequent guess from SCLH) who offered $100 if he would not be required to be introduced for the rest of President Dan's term of office.  Dan was so moved, he responded by matching Howard's donation !!  A terrific start on our Happy Bucks for this year.

 

 

Sharron Snyder received her President-Elect pin from Harvey as she missed the ceremony due to her knee replacement. Kim reviewed the notes from the Board meeting. She was also the lucky winner of our weekly raffle but could not nab the Ace of Spades. 

 

Kris Wyatt reminded us of how fortunate we are to have outstanding students and parents in our community and then introduced the 2017 Outstanding Boy and Girl from Lincoln HS, Haley Anderson who will be entering college shortly to study Psychology and Don Luy set to study Computer Science and Cyber Security.  They received their Rotary Scholarship checks of $1,000 each.

 

 

Our speaker was Eric Momess from Franklin Templeton who is an advisor to Financial Advisors in Northern California; Clark Osterhout introduced him.  Eric discussed the market forces and government policies and tools that impact interest rates.  He does not foresee any sharp increased in interest rates in the short term mainly due to the lack of wage inflation.  He commented on many aspects of the economy both in the US and abroad.  Clearly, he is very knowledgeable.
