We will meet offsite this Friday at the St. Louis County Public Works and Transportation Complex at 4787 Midway Road which is just off of Highway 53 by Pike Lake. We will hear Rick Slatten of the St. Louis County Rescue. Do North pizza for lunch. We will skip duties as we will be off-site.
There won't be a Zoom connection. Masks are not required, but are requested. We all want to be safe.
Next week Friday, February 4th we will meet at the YMCA where we will walk through a document called, Club Health Check. This document should help our newer members to learn about Rotary and prompt discussions about what our Club is doing well and what we can do better. We hope to induct Crystal Bowen as our newest member. Duties will be: Invocation - Bob Sherman and Fellowship - Tom Meyer. The YMCA now requires masks. Again, we all want to be safe.
Last week we met for Happy Hour at the Bent Paddle Taproom. It was a congenial gathering of members and spouses on a very cold evening.
The Tri-District Conference has been cancelled due to Covid. What a shame for the committee who has been planning and working for a year and a half. It is a lost opportunity to learn about Rotary and to meet Rotarians from all over Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Ontario. DG Keith and the training committee will put together a virtual conference similar to last year's.
We just learned that Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) is planned for this summer. This is a life changing experience for youth from our District. Skyline has regularly paid to send local high school students to attend this week-long camp held at the U of M Crookston Campus. Dates for the camp are July 10 - 16. You can learn more at: www.district5580ryla.org Russ will keep the Club informed about the process including the student selection.
January is Rotary Vocational Service month.
Saturday, February 5th is the One Rotary Summit. We encourage members at all levels of experience with Rotary to participate. This is not designed just for Club leaders. This will be a free District wide virtual meeting discussing Membership, Public Image, and Rotary Foundation. There will be breakout sessions with Rotarians from around the District to discuss how their clubs are progressing. Take a chance to learn and join us on a Saturday morning. Sign up at: www.Rotary5580.org
Thought for the Week
"May our happiness increase with our usefulness."
