Scholarship Committee Formation
 
Announcement:
  • The Rotary Foundation Board decided to call for the formation of a Scholarship Committee consisting of seven people.
  • Anne Slack, Scholarship Committee Chair and Tara Moenning, past Chair will hold two positions. 
  • We would like five other Rotarians to step forward to be on this committee.
  • It will only involve a short amount of your time evaluating scholarship applications when they are ready.
  • Please contact Anne Slack at anneslack@aol.com if interested.
Update Your Personal Information
 
Announcement:
  • I noticed we had no birthdays or anniversaries listed in the Spoke for January which seemed weird to me.
  • Rita helped me investigate and found many incomplete member histories.
  • Please check your data and update it so  you can be properly recognized.
Scribes Needed!
 
Please help us! 
 
  • Madison Casey and Pete Sumey are alternating weeks to cover Meeting Notes. 
  • If two more Volunteers would step forward it would make it so much more pleasant and everyone would only have to be Scribe once a month. 
  • Can you volunteer?
Temporary Sergeant-At-Arms Needed!
 
Announcement:
 
  • Due to travels by Mel Ruppel, Sergeant at Arms, a volunteer or volunteers are needed to set up and put away the banners, bell/gavel, and badges for Rotary meetings on January 13 and 27 as well as February 3, 10, and 17th.
  • If interested, contact Anne Slack at anneslack@aol.com as Mel has left on his trip.
