Club Offers Incentive to Register and Attend Virtual International Convention
The Rotary International Convention will be held from June 12 - 16, 2021.  All virtual, an International Convention is an amazing experience and this opportunity also makes the cost of participating minimal.  The registration cost is $65.00, but if you register by 11:59:59 on Friday, May 7, 2021, the registration fee is only $49.00.  And our Club has committed $400 to defraying the registration expense, $20 per member up to 20 members, so all you have to do is e-mail a copy of your e-mail confirmation of registration to Randy Kempfer and you will be reimbursed or credited $20.00 on your next statement.  To find out information and register for the Convention, just do an internet search of "Rotary International Convention."  Once you go to the site and hit the link to register, you will need to fill in your contact information as well as what kind of attendee you are ("General Attendee"), and the name of our club -- Fergus Falls, Minnesota Noon Rotary.  You will also be asked your membership number, but that is not a mandatory field.  If, however, you want to enter it and don't have it you can text or e-mail Bob Russel (218-205-6944) and he will get it to you.  Registration entitles you to unlimited access to all events, including the opening ceremony (Saturday June 12th from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m.), a general session (Sunday, June 13th from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m.) , 20 breakout sessions (scheduled from the 12th to the 16th), the closing session (Wednesday, June 16th from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.), and access to the House of Friendship.  The Virtual House of Friendship will be a place to connect with fellow Rotarians about projects, chat with staff, shop and explore exhibitor booths.  Other activities include meet and greets with leaders, virtual cooking classes, Rotary trivia contests, a virtual photo booth, a 5K walk, and a DJ dance party.      
Next Week's Meeting
I would really appreciate as many club members as possible attending next week's meeting to discuss our goals and objectives for the 2021-22 Rotary year.  I have some ideas but most importantly I want to hear from you about enhancing the Rotary experience in our club to encourage more participation by all our members and to make it an organization others want to join for fellowship and service.  Incoming Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta's theme for 2021-22 is "Serve to Change Lives" and I know our members already do that in so many different ways.  All I am asking is for you to help identify ways you wish to do so through Rotary that makes your membership more memorable and meaningful.  Hope to talk with you next Wednesday.
