Amanda stated that Mind Candy was absolutely awesome! A huge success! The show was both captivating and enthusiastic and there were no negative reports whatsoever. Rotary received recognition as well. Amanda wanted to thank Jen Brytowski for her creativity and connections, Missy for her attention to detail and to Kristin for following through. We were just 12 seats shy of a sellout and 81 more seats sold than budgeted. She also thanked all the sponsors that were in the room.
Next week's meeting on November 14th will be zoom only. Amanda will send out a link for that.
November 21st will be our annual Veterans Day lunch and please invite a veteran.

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings: Of the things we think, say or do
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
