Barrel drop-off in Northbrook and Glenview was nearly flawless this morning. Only Gloria Dei didn’t answer their bell – and I know they hadn’t been confirmed any way this year.
Here is the status, just so Gary can double-check and match things up with his pickup volunteers. (Gary, please send me the list of folks – and e-mails if any new ones.)

Our fund-raiser overseen by a company named HundredX ends at noon on Tuesday.
Dear members,
On 11/19/24 at noon our fund-raiser with Hundredx will end. I received a report from Hundredx today with regard to our progress in providing survey evaluations. We have 56 members in our club. As of this date 29 members have not signed up for this VERY simple fund-raiser which takes little time to do.
There still is time to sign up. The link below can be used.
Rotary may have one of the most democratic legislative system of any organization. It is a little clumsy and expensive, but very effective. Any Rotarian in the world can make a change in how Rotary International operates, and change any part of the constitution or bylaws. The legislative body is called the Council on Legislation (COL). It meets every three years and is made up of one representative from all 500+ districts in the world.
This three-year term our representative for District 6440 is Carlos Früm. The alternate representative is Lyle Staab. The role of the representative is to share the potential enactments that could change how Rotary functions, discuss them with anyone interested, and vote them up or down.
An enactment is created by anyone that has a better idea of Rotary management, convince his or her club, and have the district vote on the idea. If a simple majority in the district votes positively, it will be considered by the COL.
A positive vote by the COL is an automatic change in Rotary operations, two thirds for a RI constitutional change, simple majority for bylaws or club constitution change.
The 2025 COL will meet in Chicago, April 13-18, to debate and vote on 86 potential enactments or changes. They are now listed in the Rotary website and Carlos encourages anyone interested to read and share your thoughts. They usually are very interesting reading as individuals from all parts of the world, and many views, contribute to modify how Rotary should function.
You can find the enactments by the following steps. Go to:
