From President Scot

First of all, BIDS FOR KIDS!  Go to the online auction often in that many items are being added each week.  Also, be looking for your invitation in the mail.

Second, over the past two weeks we have been reminded of why we are Rotarians and the truly amazing work that 34,000 clubs with over 1.1 million people in over 200 countries and territories accomplish each and every day.  I am certain that you have a friend or a colleague who wants to be a Rotarian.  And, did you know, that a recent survey suggests that 70% of those who are asked to become Rotarians, join a club!  People are waiting for you to ask.

Third, your Board of Directors is a faithful group of stewards for this Club.  On the financial front, over the first 2/3 of the fiscal year we are operating at almost $17,000 on the black side of the ledger.  There are many reason for this, not least of which is that we remain down one staff person in the office.  So while the Board is watching the Club's finances, our understaffed Staff continues to perform Herculean efforts.  There is more work than people, but they continue to operate at a superb level of performance.  Thank you Alex, Cindy and Hal for all of your great work for our great Club.

Stay dry out there and I will see you on Monday,

President Scot
