An Update from President Paul Davis

Good Day Fellow Rotarians,

 

We missed you at our August 4 joint meeting with Inner Wheel of St. Thomas.

 

A capacity crowd that spilled out into the lobby experienced a delightful hour of presentations of plans and accomplishments of both clubs. PP Sue Boland gave our clubs first prime time description of the Boys & Girls Club operation. The response to her presentation was very positive.

 

The "New" Rotary Minute video was the the Inner Wheel Song with pictures of Inner Wheels members and projects from around the world. The Inner Wheel members present had never seen this and were greatly appreciative. 

 

Global Projects chair Lisa Yanni brought us up to date on a very ambitious water project our club has helped make happen.

 For hundreds of people this is the difference between having gutters and tanks to store water and traveling miles on donkey to retrieve water in 5 gallon buckets. This is the work Rotary does that improves lives beyond words.

 

Inner Wheel President Paula Edwards presented a complete and impressive  description of the Inner Wheel Club with an accompanying slide show. P Paula was then presented with an award form her previous year as president.

 

Happy dollars were separated for the two clubs and Inner Wheel netted over $100 in happy dollars!!!

 

At the American Legion on Saturday Bruce Perry will be inducted to this prestigious club and to celebrate we will conduct Rotary Roast #3. We will also present to them a new window AC unit for their office.The meeting is from 10am to 12 am. Rotary Roast will serve from 11ish to 3pm.

Engage in Rotary, Serving Humanity, Be the Change 2016-2016

 

Best Regards,    President Paul
