Lake Report (Dec 01, 2020)

Posted by James Monroe on Nov 30, 2020

We resume our regular schedule of weekly meetings--albeit, virtually for the time being this week. Programs Chair Don Iverson will be facilitating a presentation about Rotary International's impact on eradicating polio. If you have program ideas please send them to our Programs Chair, Don Iverson.

Also, have you read the latest edition of District 5050's monthly newsletter the Peace Arch Journal? It is crammed full of the great things Rotarians of our District are doing in their own communities as well as in various places around the world. Might I even suggest that our Sargent At-Arms do a "quiz" at this week's meeting to see who's read it?

Continue to live by and exemplify the Rotary Four Way Test-

Is it the Truth?

Is it Fair to All Concerned?

Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendships?

Will it Be Beneficial to all Concerned?
