July 7th - Meeting Summary
Sylvia conducted her first meeting of the year as President and informed us about theme for this year “Light Up Rotary”. Good attendance with 26 people attending including some little ones. Holly brought her two young ones and Abigail brought Isaac. They were all very well behaved! We sang a horrible version of Happy Birthday to George Watson for $5 in the pot! Cathy Johnson was introduced as Marilyn’s guest and also her intention to join our club. Our new SAA Danielle had everyone stand and dig in their pocket for change to all pay a happy buck to welcome Sylvia as our new President. Peter Wilson gave a Corvette update and we are just over 700 tickets sold to date. Marcel was congratulated on his 6th anniversary with our Rotary Club. Elizabeth did 3 minutes on Rotary and talked about attendance. It is Sylvia’s hope that each person can strive for 100% attendance and Elizabeth explained all the various makeups. You can do a Corvette shift; attend a Board meeting or committee meeting. You can also go to another club. Elizabeth will be tracking attendance and makeups to help Val and Sylvia with the administrative load.
Jennifer L was inducted as President-Elect as she was not able to attend changeover.
Sylvia met with the two Rotary Clubs and the Rotaract club and we are looking to have a Rotary Day in the Fall to showcase our work. Anyone interested should contact Sylvia. Cathy Johnson got the 50/50 ticket correct, but failed to pull the blue marble. The Gala meeting set for tomorrow was cancelled and Elizabeth will send e-mails to reschedule. Next week Marisa D. will tell us all about her Rotary Youth Exchange trip to New Zealand. Reminder for Jennifer’s Farewell party at the de Groot’s on July 23rd. July
