Our next club meeting on October 7, 2022 will be a Club Assembly meeting.
We will plan to start the nomination process for a new club president. I encourage everyone to think about who they would like to nominate to become our next club president. We will be accepting nominations until Dec 2022. We will hold online voting in December and announce the winner. This will give the next president time to get up to speed and learn about Rotary and set goals for the new year that starts in July! This an opportunity to get involved and make a difference! Send me an email about who you want to nominate and we will take it from there.
Our guest speaker is Ben Bauer, District Governor! Join us to hear about his plans for his year as Governor
As part of this meeting, we plan to have a portion of the meeting dedicated to hearing from Ben, a portion dedicated to ‘What is Rotary’ for the people that are new to Rotary, share plans for the future of the Service Projects that we are working on, and engage in a discussion about making plans for future membership engagement.
I am hoping that everyone will join this meeting and share your thoughts about how you can get more involved!

We've got SO many books, which is a good problem to have! So I'm scheduling 3 more dates into fall. They are Saturdays, Oct 8, 22 and Nov 5 from 10-12:30 as usual. We may add more dates as we get a sense of the weather temperature. Please let me know if you can help out.
Also, I'm cancelling the Sept. 10 event because of Ironman and also because weonly had 2 volunteers. In addition, I'd like to see if I can get a few more volunteers on Sept. 24 to help out with the peripheral work like breaking down boxes and facilitating packers.
We have 10 volunteers coming as a group through United Way.
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
