PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Happy New Year!!
 
We're starting the new year trying some new things.
 
During these winter months we are continuing with our tradition of meeting every other week, but also alternating between zoom and hybrid meetings. (A comment from the survey.)
 
Hopefully, the flexibility will provide more opportunity for member attendance. (It certainly is allowing me the opportunity to join meetings while I'm away in Florida).
 
We are also taking the opportunity to have guest speakers at many meetings. (Also a comment from the survey.)  Zoom, particularly at this time of year, allows speakers more opportunity to speak with us. Speakers will be from other Rotary Clubs, District, local organizations and others.  
 
We have formed a Membership Committee to look at ways to attract new members. (If you are interested in joining, please reach out to me.)
 
Remember that the easiest way to attract new members is for all of us to ask a friend or associate if they are interested. And if so, invite them to join us for a meeting.
 
Keep warm!
 
I will see you at our next meeting, February 1st.
