The November 3, 2008 meeting of the Newport Rotary Club featured a program by Gary Smith, CAGA, Nationally Certified Personal Property Appraiser. Mr. Smith was introduced by RuthAnn Sluss, who was the Program Chair for the evening.
Mr. Smith introduced the club to the exciting world of personal property auctions, and regaled the club with his personal experiences where seemingly insignificant items were actually in great demand and would fetch many times there apparent value. He had several items of interest that he passed around the club including a painting and a Revolutionary War era powder horn, both of which were discovered in relatively obscure and inexpensive locations, and which were much more valuable than their former owners realized. He described his different certifications, organizations to which he belonged, and then distinguished between personal property and real property auctions and valuation. More information can be obtained by contacting him at cagaappraiser@ec.rr.com or visit the website at www.ccreaa.com.
Many remembrances of Past Pres. Harold Chartley were offered. Rotarians number among his pallbearers at his request earlier in the day. Harold will be remembered as a great part of the Newport Community and our Club.
A fantastic meal was prepared by Jack Askew- soup and sandwiches. This club sure does like peanut butter & jelly!
The Dictionary Presentation is at Newport Elementary School on Wednesday morning. Rotarians are to meet at 9:15am to ride together. New Rotarians are encouraged to attend for the approximately 1 hour presentation according to PDG Derryl Garner.
