Club President Message June 16th
     
 
Membership:
 
We have our 20 founding members!  Time to celebrate!!!
 
Please Welcome our newest member - Sharon Deminsky!  She plans to attend meetings and happy hour events when her schedule allows.  When you see her join us, be sure to say - Hi! - and make her feel welcome.
 
Club News:
 
On July 1, 2022, we are planning on having our Charter celebration during our regularly scheduled meeting for the month.  I encourage everyone to attend.  We will share our plans for the club for the upcoming year and award the $50 gift card to the member that brought in the most new club members.  We will also find out about our upcoming service projects for the next year.
 
Please join us and help us celebrate our latest achievement!!  The link to the meeting is posted on our website.
 
Heads up - We will be sending out a copy of the proposed By-laws for our club in the next two weeks.  We do need members to vote on whether or not the By-laws can be adopted or provide feedback.  This will give us guidance going forward.
 
Did anyone attend the Rotary International convention in Houston?  If so, please share your pics and stories of your experiences!
 
Random acts of kindness are always appreciated!
 
Thanks,
LeRoy

Volunteer Opportunity Guatemala Service Projects
Title: Guatemala Trip January 2023
When: January 12-22
Where:   Guatemala
Contact: Ellen Cook - ellenburleighcook@gmail.com
Description: A trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun!
 
As many of you know, we are planning a trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun! Gary and Ana and I met with Alvaro and Patrick over zoom last week and together we planned a tentative  itinerary for January 12-22 that Patrick has attached here. Patrick has included a breakdown of the cost per person for the amazing trip he has planned for us that you'll find at the end of the attached itinerary. We priced air travel costs at around $500/person, but obviously that can vary. Please look over the itinerary carefully because there are lots of options included to facilitate designing your trip for your comfort level. What we would like to know at this planning stage is how many of you feel interested in going on this trip. No commitment required just yet
