Thanks to Doug and State Farm for this generous donation. Tyler Lorey, our Membership Chair, warmly welcomed and inducted our newest member Rosemary Mondo to the club. Rosemary is a welcome addition to the club and we are delighted to have her as a new member. (see announcement above) Future meeting format and schedules were discussed. Terry and Jay researched and found an app for scheduling small in person meetings hosted by club members having enough space for social distancing. Suzette volunteered to host the first meeting on Thursday, July 23rd. More info to follow. Having an in person meeting at the American Legion on July 30th was discussed and Robin, Bill B and Ed will coordinate that meeting. President Dave asked that we help our long time Program Chair Bill C with ideas for future programs. Dave said that Bill has done a great job with this challenging task and ideas would be appreciated. Pres Dave also asked for club members to step up and help with the Community Service and Activities Committee which is headed by Jay S. The more members involved the more successful we will be! And lastly, please be sure and read the weekly newsletter edited by Ward. It contains a plethora of information. |

Rotary International's Board of Trustees approved a brand new SEVENTH area of focus for our organization: Supporting the Environment. “It is time for us to use our collective resources to invest in a smart and efficient way to protecting our environment,” says Foundation Trustee Chair Gary C.K. Huang. “We are qualified to take this initiative because we are a global group of problem solvers with diversified talents.” Creating a distinct area of focus to support the environment will give Rotary members even more ways to bring about positive change in the world and increase our impact. More information about this new cause will be announced soon.
