Two hunters are dragging a dead deer back to their truck when a man approaches them and says, "Y'know it's much easier if you drag it the other way. Then the antlers won't dig into the ground and slow you up." The hunters try this method and make good progress. The first hunter says to the other, "That guy really knew what he was talking about, didn't he?" "Yes", replies the second hunter. "But on the other hand, we are getting further away from the truck."
Earlier this year, the Village of Cary announced its partnership with The Rotary Club of Cary-Grove in the development of a new park, "Cary Lake at Rotary Park". The Rotary Club is pleased to announce that it has begun soliciting donations for the construction of a picnic shelter that will be located near the main parking area of this facility. The pavilion will provide another feature to the park for the benefit of everyone that visits for many years to come. The estimated cost of this project is $70,000. The club is seeking the support of community members and local business owners in order to bring this to a quick, successful completion. Contributions are being accepted at the Club's Go Fund Me Page: http://gf.me/u/y6kq5f.
Project updates will be posted to our website and FaceBook page as construction at the site progresses.
I've copied and pasted the verbiage from Governor Lyle's email that was sent earlier this morning. This is a great opportunity for you to get your business listed in the Rotary Business Directory. Simply click on the link below to add your establishment to the list:
"You might have heard that our District is partnering with D6450 and Rotary International on a pilot of a new opportunity for our members: The Rotary Network.
Rotary began as an opportunity for fellowship and to build business relationships that, ideally, would be advantageous to both parties. The Rotary Network is solution for today, a way for Rotarians to help other Rotarians, and that's particularly welcome in these challenging times. You and other Rotarians might be anxious about their business, or be looking for advice, connections, or even information about changing careers. That's why The Rotary Networkwas created. See the attached flyer and this video to learn more.
And if you're like me, retired, The Rotary Network is for you, too! You can share your experience with other Rotarians, or provide guidance to a member that is looking for a change. It's another way for us to be of service.
Please take a few minutes to check out therotarynetwork.org, and then list your business, add your comments, sign up as a mentor, or suggest other resources we should add. The Rotary Networkwill only be as good as we together make it!"
Looking for something to do this weekend? Check out McHenry County Living's Upcoming Events. Might not be Rotary related, but attending sure will "build good will and better friendships."

Rotarian Action Groups are autonomous groups of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who are experts in a particular field, such as micro-credit or water and sanitation. More information about these groups and their purpose can be found on RI's website.
Rotary Fellowships are independent groups of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends from around the world. Again, more detailed information is available at this link to RI's website.
If you haven't all ready done so, take the time to click on the two links above and see if there may be a group that fits with your interests. It's a great way to make new friends and to share common interests with Rotarians from around the world.
