Additional nominations are accepted from the floor at the November meetings. Elections are scheduled for the first Monday in December.
BIKE BUILD
Due to decreased giving in 2019-2020 and increased costs, our Bike Build will be a lot smaller this year. We'll meet on Saturday, December 12 at Pollard United Methodist Church to build the bikes. We're only allowed to have 10 volunteers this year due to spacing requirements and less bikes. Please sign up at one of our meetings while space is still available.
The Bike Build is one of our favorite projects every year, so we were disappointed to hear how few bikes they were able to purchase. Want to make the 2021 Bike Build ever bigger and better? Donate $65.00 now towards next year's event. Make your check payable to Pollard United Methodist Church. You can turn checks in between now and the end of the year.
CHRISTMAS PARADE
We’re changing things up this year with the Christmas Parade. Our event is scheduled on Saturday (yes, SATURDAY) December 5, 8 AM-noon. Instead of a traditional parade where people line the streets to watch the floats go by we are hosting a Drive Thru Parade. The floats will be stationary and attendees will drive through the parade route. We need you, your families and friends to volunteer with us at the Parade; please sign up by emailing Jen Katz.
NOVEMBER IS ROTARY FOUNDATION MONTH
Rotary International highlights the month to emphasize the importance and need for Rotarian support of the Rotary Foundation. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for The Rotary Foundation and another $2500 for Polio Plus. With 100 members, that is $125 per member. I challenge each of you to consider supporting the Rotary Foundation. See Tom DeWitt for more information.
You can donate via check or credit card at our meetings. To donate online and receive club credit, set up an account on https://my.rotary.org/en/ using the email address from which you receive STR communications. Once registered, click the “donate” button.
