Smiling Toad Brewery, May 3rd from 4:30 to 6:30. Be there!!
In the News: In the last week, I saw the following Rotarians on TV: Kevin Vick speaking about teachers' pay issues on Monday and also Bob Chastain speaking about fundraising successes at the Zoo, also on Monday. Anyone see another Rotarian on TV or in the newspaper?
Welcome all new Rotarians who have gotten their red badges this year! We have had at least 8 or 10 new members join our Rotary Club since July. You, our sponsors, are doing a tremendous job in attracting great people and I look forward to our club continuing to ask citizens from all walks of life to join. Dr. Molly Slate was welcomed as a new member last week and Josh and Molly's daughter, Adelaide, will also make a worthy member in a number of years! Adelaide was ready to speak to the club when she was on the podium - Wow (she's only 8 years old or so)!
Our Club has decided to establish an ongoing program for sharing Foundation Recognition Points (FRPs) to encourage contributions to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) and to help members become Paul Harris Fellows or to obtain multiple Paul Harris levels. See attached documents.
This is the way the program will work:
Members who have FRPs will be asked to donate all or a specified part of their points.
The donated points will establish a pool available for transfer to other members who are contributing to TRF
Members contributing to TRF may choose to use points to help them become a PHF or advance to the next PHF level
The approach essentially functions as a clearinghouse to connect members with points to members who wish to use points in connection with contributions.
To donate or to request points, simply contact Foundation Chair Tom Nelson by phone (719-440-6611) or by email (tcnelson21@gmail.com).”
What does Rotary do? Where do we do it? and How do we do it? In 8 short words, Joseph Kovarik suggests the following: " What do we do? Improve people's lives, where do we do it Locally and globally, How do we do it? Through service."
Short and sweet, this was in the Rotarian Nov 2018.
