**JOIN OUR MEETINGS!!**

 

Future of Our Meetings:
Carrie shared with us that yesterday she received information that Rotary International offered the guidance that there should be no in person club meetings for the rest of this calendar year. Their guidance was strong enough that if meetings were to occur, that the liability insurance offered through Rotary International would not cover us.  That means that the golf outing and Reverse Raffle/Silent Auction are both in jeopardy. However, members are already researching how to do the Reverse Raffle/Silent Auction virtually.  
 
Carrie expressed thoughts of how this affords us both challenges and opportunities.  1.)  How do we maintain engagement?  Not everyone has been able to join us for the morning meetings, so how do we help them to still feel a part of the club?  2.)  Could we try something like a virtual Happy Hour at maybe a 5:00 time?  3.) Could we meet virtually with another club?  4.)  Could we engage a speaker from far away?  Marissa suggested scheduling a time when we could order food from a local establishment and watch a movie together. Carrie asked that we e-mail her with our ideas of how to engage others and ideas for meetings.  Her e-mail is cleising23@gmail.com.
 
It is also important to note that Rotary International Meets again in June and they could change their directive. We will wait to see how that meeting goes and the Board will meet to discuss what's in the best interest of our members as we move forward.
 
Steve Dunton ended the meeting with a joke today.  John Long has the responsibility for that next week.
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
We have decided that we would offer the club the opportunity to donate their weekly breakfast money to selected organizations during this time we are not meeting.  Another way for us to help out community. Checks for May can be made out to Rotary Club of Stow-Munroe Falls Rotary can be sent to Annette Oborn at 381 Silver Valley Blvd, Munroe Falls, OH 44262.
