FIRST THURSDAY JUN 7, 2018
FIRST THURSDAY - ROTARY MEANS BUSINESS
Our meeting kicking off June activities last week, found us engaged in a conference call with fellow Rotarians in the Rotary Club of Antigua Sundown club. The topic of discussion was initial consideration of the feasibility of a global grant focused on addressing autism needs in Antigua. Following discussions, there was a good deal of enthusiasm with recognition of the need to address the many questions identified before being able to proceed. The ball appears to be gaining initial traction.
 
Speaking of the ball rolling, yours truly found himself upon a chair which actually was a "transformer" and evolved into a reverse chaise lounge; whereupon I lost any semblance of musical chairs and disappeared under the hors d'oeuvres table! These First Thursday meetings can really be exciting!
 
A discussion followed with a visiting Rotarian, guest of Tom Kolepp. It afforded all some wonderful insights into the perceptions of millenials. With luck this person may come to Morning Star and bring his wonderful enthusiasm along!
 
These First Thursday meetings at the Artisan continue to grow in popularity and have resulted in becoming a strong membership recruiting tool. Please plan on coming to the next meeting and catch the excitement.
 
 
 
OUR NEWEST MEMBER AMY MILLER COHEN
This Thursday we will have a 'fireside chat' with one of our newest and very enthusiastic members Amy Miller Cohen. Amy already qualifies as a "seasoned Rotarian" having previously been in the Downtown Rotary Club for many years.
She was the wife of Bob Cohen, a long term Bethlehem Rotarian and famous musical entertainer whom sadly we lost in the recent past. Please plan to join us as I know this will be a memorable classification talk!
