"Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." Melody Beattie
 
In November we celebrate Thanksgiving.  Thank You! Rotary members, for your service to our communities and our world. 
 
November is Foundation Month.  The Rotary Foundation is a non-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions.  Donating to The Rotary Foundation enables the Foundation to support, through Rotary clubs, bigger and more impactful projects around the world. More lives are changed and society gains.  Tuesday, November 28 is Giving Tuesday.  The Rotary Foundation is looking for support. You can  donate to Annual Fund-SHARE on Giving Tuesday to support district and global grants.
 
New Member Orientation and Welcome will be November 29, 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. Hosted by PDG Karen Hebert.  Watch for a news article on the website or Facebook page with more details.
 
Happy surprise!  Our club received a banner from the Rotary Foundation for the second highest per capita annual giving in our district.  Woot Woot!!  Way to go team!
 
We have set up a memorial fund for Lisa McGrath.  It will work the same as the one for Cheryl.  Donations are tax deductible, and all proceeds will go toward our next service project.  More details below.  
 
Tri-Con, our Multi-District Conference, will be April 19-20, 2024, in Green Bay.
 
I am so grateful for all of you.  Together we can create hope in the world.
