Club President Message 2023-09-14

Hi team,

I hope you all had a good summer.  I have really been noticing lately that the days are getting shorter, and the nights cooler.  As we slide into and through September, I learned that this is Basic Education and Literacy Month. Yay for all the Rotary projects that address this topic.

 

Speaking of Service Projects – the service committee is looking for new members.  We meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 5:00.  Join in when you can.  The link is on the club website on the left, club website is here.  Check out the website, it gets updated regularly.  Browse the Member Spotlight (further down on the left) to learn about your fellow members.

 

We’re rolling out our new Happy Hour this month. It is going to be on the third Thursday of the month starting at 5:30. Petra and Karen will take turns hosting. Petra has a parlor game planned this month that will allow us the opportunity to get know each other a little better.  As always, the link is on our website, September link is here. 

 

October is World Polio Month, and Oct 24^th is World Polio Day.  In recognition, at our next club meeting on 10/6, we will learn a little bit about what Rotary is doing to end polio, and our 50/50 raffle will be 33/33/34, with the Polio foundation getting 34%.

 

As we ease into Fall, we need to keep an eye on next year.  Before winter is done, we need a president-elect for the next Rotary year.  The PETS – President Elects Training Seminar will be in-person only next March.  Please think about serving this club through leadership.

 

District events are designed to make the Rotary experience more fun and more successful for the Rotary clubs and their members.  Upcoming events in our district include:
