April 30: The last Thursday of the month found a lively group of Lansing Rotarians and their guests at The Irish Pub enjoying cheesy pizza, tasty Reuben eggrolls, and a libation or two. There was a lot of friendly chit chat as well as pens and pencils scribbling away to answer…
 
The Question of The Day: If you could hang out with any cartoon character, who would it be and why?                         

Cathy Andrews – Mighty Mouse because he always saves the day!

Mike Clark – Yosemite Sam because my father would laugh in the theater so loud the rest of the audience was in an uproar and we were embarrassed.

Bill Frysinger – Bugs Bunny because he’s a smart ass like me!

Chris Frysinger – Opus because he wears his underwear on the outside

Judi Harris – Tasmanian Devil just because he’s crazy.

Alex Hernandez – Fred Flintstone to bowl and drink with him.

Bilky Joda-Miller – Rosie the Riveter because she is a strong person and self-sufficient.

Hari Kern – Linus because, you know, piano.

Teresa Kmetz – Ms. Frizzle so I can experience the world in fantastical ways.

Heidi McNaughton – Wilma & Betty because they knew what was REALLY going on.

Carlos R. – Shaggy from Scooby Doo – He is the coolest coward known to man. He always gets stuff done.

Michelle Reynaert – Jane Jetson – From the robot housekeeper to the rotating closet and magic auto-hairdryer, her hair done perfectly, she was living in a tech-heavy world fast becoming reality.

Kevin Schumacher – Yosemite Sam because I want to have a rootin’ tootin’ good time!

Anonymous/No Name – Yosemite Sam – He has a great mustache.

George Siegle – Frazz because my friend Jef is his creator, and Frazz has good perspective and is always up for a bike ride.

Lisa Smith – Buzz Lightyear – He is so happy-go-lucky, he can fly, and he is delightful.

Chris Swope – Sponge Bob Square Pants because he’s so happy and friendly.

Doug Wiesner – Sherman and Mr. Peabody as it would be fun to travel through time.
