Our invocation was offered by Lisa M. after we recited the Pledge of Allegiance and before we did the same with respect to The Four-Way Test. Our Student Guests introduced themselves, all seniors at the public high school. I did not catch all their names, so here is the best I can do - from left to right in the picture below: Abigail Tunseth is involved in FFA, the National Honor Society, 4-H and choir and plans to attend M State here in Fergus Falls next year. Audrey is a swimmer, in FFA, the National Honor Society and choir and she plans to attend NDSU next fall. Elizabeth is in choir and the theatre program and also will attend NDSU next fall.  President Katie reminded us to turn in ticket sales proceeds from the Jared Sherlock show on Feb. 23rd. There was a Rotary Minute Plus Quiz administered by this writer based on articles from the March edition of the Rotary magazine, with one of three questions answered correctly. It was then announced that we will be looking for volunteers to help clean up the ditch we have been assigned by MNDOT, probably in late March. Steve A. was the first to brag, doing so to tell us of being in New York most of February, finding a new, wonderful Algerian restaurant right in the neighborhood, meeting Alice's new boyfriend (whom they like), attending the China New York Rotary Club, flying home on the same flight with Laurel Nelson and, finally, to pay a scooter buck for having to leave the meeting early. Lisa M. paid in for missing a meeting or two and to happily report our Exchange Student, Candi, moved in with the McFarlands the prior Thursday. Mary P. told us her grandson was going to the state swimming tournament and offered some extra dollars to catch up on some previous brags made without a monetary donation. Ken H. said he will be highlighted by his publisher in April as a "Master of Media." Wally C. was proud of two granddaughters who participated in an orchestra concert the previous night and Mary P. seconded his appreciation for the performance. Keith O., joining us virtually, along with Mark B. and Holly W., and with what he considered loud grandchildren in the background (my hearing must be going -- I didn't even hear them) told us he will return in person to our meeting this week, God willing. This writer bragged about a wonderful trip to Florida with his younger daughter and her husband, seeing a live space launch, attending two spring Twins games and getting a foul ball at one of them, and going up about 220 feet in the equivalent of a hot air balloon (filled with helium), albeit tethered to the ground. Brian T. then took us on a tour of ClubRunner, first telling us how we can get the app on our phone and log-in. See the slide Brian presented below:  He also told us we can use ClubRunner for both club and district information. See the slide Brian presented below. |
