Yep, our club held two Rotary functions on October 11.
Our regular Rotary meeting was held by zoom at noon. Many thanks to Dennis for presenting the news, James for doing the invocation, pledge and 4way test, and Dana for leading us in song.
Liz announced that our annual day to ring bells for the Salvation Army will be held on November 21 at the HyVee on Wilson Avenue. Ringing starts at 10 am and goes until 8 pm. Time slots are for one hour. Contact Liz Durham at tedurham1010@yahoo.com or 319-310-1300 if you are interested in ringing and she can let you know what time slots remain open. She will take care of signing you up. If you cannot ring on that day, you can still go to the Salvation Army website to signup for a different time, date and location. Contact Liz on how to signup direct. You will need to use her user name and password.
Janette introduced our speaker Melanie Lentz. She is a former Secret Service Agent. She started at the young age of 22. She talked about her experiences and the impact they had on her. It was extremely interesting and encouraging to all! She has written her memoirs in a book called "Agent Innocent." For further details you can check out her website at melanielentz.com. Sounds like a great book to get on Amazon.
It was noted that congrats go out to Charles for getting married on October 17.
Our in person meeting at the Indian Creek Nature Center was hosted by Jane. She had a nice fire going in the firepit. The wind even cooperated. It was interesting to hear about the various programs. It was nice to see our fellow Rotarians in person. Hopefully, we can arrange more of these before the snow flies (oops until old man winter really gets serious about winter).
