These are unprecedented times... Hence we are not together today in compliance with local, state and federal decree.

Rotarians around the world are experiencing the same thing this week and it is a good reminder that our ties go deeper than mere membership in a service organization.

Amid the grips of this pandemic family units may feel isolated... or totally involved in professional responsess... or emersed in helping those for whom we are responsible... not just in our community, but the state, and our country, and the global community. 

As Rotarians - around the world - we pledge to put service above self - and living by the 4 way test. Let's allow the synergetic connections allow our club to find the very best ways we can be of service as individuals, a club, and a force for good in the world!

What an opportunity to find ways of reaching out with compassion.  ~ Barb

 

The Board held it's usual monthly meeting last week. 

If you remember last Wednesday at noon, the global scene changed while we met. We went from no greeter handshakes and instructions to wash hands to awareness that events were to be cancelled in one hour. 

We discussed the postponement of our events in the near future, but also projects to look forward to. Those include:

 

* Satellite Club -- update by Emily Randel

* Career Speakers at SMN -- update by Steve Anderson

* Growing Futures -- Jeff Jennings 

* Roadside Cleanup -- Ewan Shortess 

* Member Orientation -- Ed Coulter

* SMN Coffee Shop -- Sandy Russell

* Kansas City Days -- update by Dennis

 

We have much to look forward to! For a bit of inspiration: Marine Corp Band
