The weather hasn't been good to us so far this year of global warming. We have had miserable weather on our meeting day for the last six weeks, or so. Today was no exception. The prediction for today was 16 degrees, which would be the coldest high for this date EVER!
We had 10 stalwarts in attendance today, with many others ill, afraid of the weather, or wisely in a warm climate until things warm up a little here.
Dave Keck gave the invocation, we pledged to the flag, and stated the four way test, the guide fr all Rotarians.
Joe Maloney reported that we will have two students attend the World Affairs Conference. We will need some member help, particularly for transportation. Please contact Joe or Jennifer, if you can help out.
Our Speaker today Was Rebecca Zaseck, President and CEO of Real Services, Inc. The Agency serves the needs of elderly and physically disabled individuals in Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Marshall, and St. Joseph Counties.
Their mission is to add quality to the lives of individuals by supporting their ability to live independently. They serve 65,000 individuals, and major areas of support are: Case Management and In-Home services, Energy assistance, Home health Care, Meals on Wheels, Nutrition, Transportation, and Weatherization.
The agency has a budget of nearly nineteen million dollars, and organizes hundreds of volunteers for the task. It is apparent that they meet a great need within our communities.
Note from your Little Old Editor. Thanks Bob Sones for filling in today. My apologies for getting this Bulletin out so late. We are finishing up on some remodeling and time just got away from me. I have heard the weather up North is getting better then when Bob wrote this Bulletin. It's been in the 80s hear and lots of sun shine. It is also the busiest season we have ever seen.
After last weeks Bulletin we had 22 responses to the inquiry as to who is or is not getting the Bulletin. I am happy to report that all had received their copy. One did have a problem with it being garbled. I hope this week's copy gets through to him ungarbled. It is possible that Club Runner was having some difficulties delivering Bulletins as last week's went through smoothly. If you have a problem please let me know.
Meet Brandy,
