Other Announcements: Please pray for JT Stimler and his family during this time of loss his mother passed this past week. Chad Jones resigned from being and active Rotarian, saying his company cut back and he will not be able to attend meetings. He still plans on being active at our events. Roger Cline reviewed how to do an E-Makeup seeing as attendance has to be over 50%. (I have attached the instructions AND the current attendance percentages for each member. I personally think that the scribe for the newsletter should get a makeup each week, as it takes anyone who does it at least an hour of time per week. Any opposed?Andrea, Annette, Bob? ha ha) Please look at your attendance and increase it accordingly.
SPEAKER: Andrea Denton spoke to us today on the ADM Board of Summit County. Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Board. She reviewed what they do and shared some interesting facts. One our of four families used the board at some point in Summit County. There are 26 agencies that service the referrals that come from the ADM Board. The board does not directly service the patient/client. They service preschool families, Veterans, and any other citizens in need. Please visit www.ADMBoard.org for more information. She also pointed out to look at the testimonials for some of the people they have served. She has been involved for over 26 years and "Jared" and "China" have 2 great stories to read. She also said we can call her with questions. She shared with us in detail many of the programs in jails, in hospitals etc that the board make possible. Very informative. As a side note, the levy on the current ballot would provide 74% of the budget for the ADM Board starting in 2015. Great job Andrea.
Have a great week everyone!
Yours in Success,
