    In just over two weeks, the Rotary Club of Casselberry will enter a new level of commitment to the Casselberry community.

    The International Folk Festival promises to be a premier community event bringing into one venue the ethnic and cultural diversity of Casselberry.

    Event creator and chair, Hank Lander will give the club an up-to-date progress report and a clearer picture on what we should expect on Saturday, April 29. Weather-wise it promises to be a sunny day starting out in the upper 50's and capping at around 82. A perfect day to have a great time.


    Rotary Ann Pleads For The Safe Return of Mickey
    Rotary Anne

    From President's Gary Desk...

    In a tearful news conference outside her home today, Ann pleaded with Mickey's abductors to release him unharmed. "To those responsible for the disappearance of my big honey bear, please let him go! I can't function without him...I tend to lose my bearings and wander about. He is a simple bear with the mind of a cub."

    Authorities seem to think differently and that this could be Mafia related. It appears that Mickey used to go by the name of "The Attendance Persuader". In years past, he was known to strike fear in the hearts of Rotarians in Casselberry if they were ever to cross him.

    A Rotarian who wishes to remain anonymous stated, "you had better not ever miss a meeting or Mickey would hound you until you had perfect attendance." He was always bending the ear of the incoming president and the club services chair to maintain order and perfect attendance in the club

    The last few years had seen a decline in Mickey's bear hug power hold on the club. It is felt that some of those whom he intimidated the most, are behind this crime

    The lead investigator states that they have film of the perp dropping off a ransom note at Gulf States Credit Union, along with handwriting samples. It is also felt that there are witnesses but they have yet to come forward.

    Stay tuned for more Bear Facts.
