Weekly Meals - A big THANK YOU to Carol Conover for all she does to coordinate our weekly meals. Due to an increase in attendance at the meetings, we are increasing the number of meals delivered each week. At last week's board meeting, the board discussed our current guest lunch policy and wanted to share it with our members. As a reminder, with the exception of the invited program speaker, all others (guests, visiting Rotarians, potential members, members) are expected to pay the meal fee. We would also like to remind our members that Carol is the only person authorized to speak to restaurants on our behalf in regards to meals.
District Conference - Thanks to STR members Amanda Folmar, Diane Kavanaugh, Marla Boren, Beth Blaisdell, Tom DeWitt, Lee Montgomery, John Hart, Hagan Patterson and Chris McLarry for attending the District Conference last weekend in Longview. Also joining us were Rotarian spouses Ann DeWitt, Dillon Folmar and Nancy Hart. We exchanged ideas, met Rotarians from across the District, picked up some new ideas and helped raise almost $10K for Polio Plus.
New Member induction - If you missed last week's meeting, you didn't see President Amanda Folmar induct 5 new members to South Tyler Rotary. Welcome new members!
