President’s Message 5/11It has been a while since I have sent out a bulletin so no time like the present. We had a great turn out to say farewell to Alva this past Sunday as she heads home tomorrow. I know it is not how she envisioned ending up her year abroad but it was clear she enjoyed actually seeing us and saying good bye.We continue to forge ahead a conduct things as they were normal during theses times and have an upcoming book club and social hour scheduled on the books. On the other hand we are dealing with things that were unimaginable just a few months ago. There is a group of Rotarians getting together to discuss mental health in our community, we are donating 100 meals a week to be delivered by Meals on Wheels to individuals in need, making masks for our community, and learning how to use Zoom! Our Foundation has put us in the position to help when needed and we will continue to monitor and respond as needed.Thank you for all you continue to do and I look forward to the day I can see more of you in person as I did yesterday. Take care and be safe.Our meetings are Tuesdays at 7:30 Here is how to join our meeting:Join through this website:Then enter this Meeting ID: 559 621 585Password is 8675309If you'd like to call in, it's 301 715 8592

Excerpts from Bill Sander's presentation:
"In my opinion from visiting many other clubs in my 25 years in Rotary, Summit County Rotary is a World Class Club because of your involvement in so many projects that benefit our community."
"Each of you are philanthropist’s in your own way by giving your time, talent and treasure to our community through Rotary."
"A quote that I heard from Cindy Bargell, attributed to Maya Angelou, “ I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”"
"You are all givers. You are the ones honored today. Thank you for being a philanthropist."

Bill: Hey Scott, you’re smiling, what’s that all about ?
Scott: Well, the Ice Melt contest is over and I understand it was successful.
B: Yes, it’s over and it was successful. * Ice Melt Committee recognized here.(Diane Monaghan, Scott Price, Stu Dearnley, Lee Edwards, Steve Cornwell, Catheryn Carlson, Kevin Boylan, Susan Juergensmeier, Lori Burke, Ann Clement, Dave Mathews, Bee Jeanson
S: Did everyone do their share as the Club had asked ?
B: Absolutely, every member did their share and 20 members did more than their share, including Jerry Devine, Bob Lau, Emily Messegee, Larry Stone, Woody Woodland, Rich James, Butch Elich, Mike Spry, who did much more than their share.
S: What do you mean every member did their share ?
B: The Club asked every member to sell or purchase at least one packet, and every member did that. * ( ask every member to stand and shake hands with member on their left and right and realize that every member did their share and sold or purchased a packet of tickets---that we had !00% participation. What a fantastic accomplishment !
S: That’s great, so what was the financial result ?
B: The gross income was $22K, the expenses were $8K ( including the cash prizes to the winners, for a net revenue of $14K
S: That’s fantastic: $14K , that’s about double what the Ice Melt contest has produced in the past.
B: Yes, but, the money is only part of it. The other part is how the money used--- for the 31 plus projects that we ( our Rotary Club) ( Your Rotary Club) support, that benefit our community.
Projects in Health, Hunger and Education, like Reading Buddies, RYLA, Community Dinner, Community Care Clinic, Coats for Kids, CASA, to name just a few.
The Rotary motto is “ Service Above Self”. Joni Ellis, when she was Club president created a Club motto, “ We Make Good Things Happen For Our Community”.
Each one of you should feel good, should feel proud that you are a Rotarian, ---that you are a member of this Summit County World Class Club,---and by the simple act of selling Ice Melt tickets, YOU, each one of YOU make good things happen for our community.
The Ice Melt Contest closes at midnight on Sunday, April 14. All ticket stubs and money must be in the hands of a Rotarian, at an Alpine Bank in Summit County, or postmarked by that date and time.
Please turn in all packets, money and stubs to Catheryn Carlson or Bill Sanders at the Club meeting on Tuesday, April 16 or at an Alpine Bank in Summit County by noon, April 13. Call Bill Sanders, 970/485-3623 if you need to make other arrangements.
If you have just one packet of tickets, we would like for you to turn it in with at least $100 and no unsold tickets.
If you have multiple packets, (which 43 members have requested) it’s ok to turn in unsold tickets with your additional packets.
We will now wait for the clock to drop in, retrieve it and declare the winners, along with the first place winner drawing for the Ace of Spades.
Thanks to all of you for your support in raising funds for our Rotary projects.
“Together, we make good things happen for our community”.
