OCT 13, 2022 DISTRICT GOVERNOR LEN GIESELER
MSR Rotarians…
 
At this Thursday’s club meeting, we will be hosting our District 7430 Governor, Len Geisler, for his official club visit.  I ask that we have a representative showing of our club membership for this meeting, either in-person or virtually via Zoom.  If you haven’t attended a club meeting recently, I invite you to join us this week to reconnect with your fellow MSR members and hear about all the happenings in our district and the many exciting events and projects that our club is undertaking this year.
 
Our standing committees are active, directing and advising our club in various areas.   I would like to see everyone be involved in at least one committee, project, and/or fundraising event this year.  Our current active committees are Grants, Foundation, Membership, Public Image, and Environmental along with other initiatives and projects both locally and globally.  Please contact the chairperson of any committee, project, or fundraiser which you are interested in participating.  A few committees and projects need a new chairperson (Environmental, Camp Neidig, STEM-YEA).  Contact me for more information and if you are interested in serving in any of those positions.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone at this week’s meeting.
 
Yours in Rotary,
 
Rod
