President’s Message 1/22/19

 

Well, that was a meeting!  Here's a quick review of the agenda: Borja and Janica asked us to sign up for the international cookbook the exchange students are producing.  Stu requested help with the upcoming SDN wrap that will come out in March.  We welcomed our two newest members, Gena Osborn and Doug DeLong.  Be sure to add them to your lists of willing volunteers!  Ann reported on the ULLR Day parade.  Kim announced that planning of the 9 Health Fair is under way.  Butch awarded many Scaling the Summit certificates.  Wilson inspired us to join a new Junior Achievement project.  Lou encouraged us to go to the President's Dinner on Jan. 25.  Jan. 20 is the last day to register.  Happy hour is Thursday at the Raven.  There were additional announcements, but we ran out of time.  Listen for them this week.

Our speaker was Dr. Roger Mazze, a well-known diabetes specialist.  He discussed the history of diabetes care, the treatments available, today, how Rotary is helping, and what the future may hold for diabetics.  With so many millions suffering from the disease, it's an important topic.  Dr. Mazze's presentation was cut short due to time constraints, too.

Twice in this short letter, time was mentioned.  We have too many exciting activities to miss hearing about them, so starting this week, the breakfast bell will ring at 7:05 and the meeting will start at 7:25.  If the drawing happens later than 7:55, sadly, we will have to forego Fun Fund.
