So, if you haven’t heard it already, Hoppy New Year!!

This week’s meeting was held via ZOOM and was called to order by President Emily. She led the 10 attending members in the Pledge of Allegiance & the 4-way test.

January is– “Rotary Awareness Month”

Announcements:

Our $100 voluntary per member assessment usually becomes due during January. This donation takes the place of a fundraising event which we’re too darn tired to hold.

President Emily will meet with Angie Ludi of the Womens Housing Coalition.

Tom Gallagher will be our program speaker on 18 January. He’ll be officially inducted as an honorary member of our Club.

Michael will be travelling to Ghana on 12 January.

Club, District & R.I. News and Business:   

A tentative work day at Silver Horizons is scheduled for 24 January @ 11:30AM.

Program speakers for the Rotary Year:

January – Cheryl    February – Penny    March – Pamela    April – Libby    May – Pat    June - Judy

The RI Convention will happen on June 4-8, 2022, in Houston! This convention is the closest one ever to District 5520. Register at convention.rotary.org. A full refund may be obtained prior to April 30, 2022. 

January member birthday anniversaries:  Emily, Libby and Mollie.

Since we couldn’t “get it together” for the last few years, let’s consider sponsoring participants in the District’s 4-Way Test essay contest 2022 with a local 8th grade class. $100 is awarded to the essay contest winner’s teacher, since the contest isn’t viable without the participation of teachers. This is a great way to discuss ethics in the classroom. Stickers, a poster, and a Four-Way Test soccer ball will be provided to participating classrooms. 

Today’s Program:    

Each of the attending members shared their holiday experiences with the group.

It was great to see and hear from Past President Vivien today!

There being no further Rotary business, our meeting was concluded at 1:00 PM.
