Thank you to Geoff Merrill for bringing the student of the month to our morning meeting! We will be hosting the Hampton Academy Student of the month once a month, along with their family and Principle at our meeting. Congratulations to Reece Dinardo for the month of September!

Thank you to Anne Russell for organizing the snow suit program again this year! Parents of adopted munchkins- Please deliver the snow suit you have purchased to Anne and if you have already done so, THANK YOU!

Dave Reid's bench has been installed and completed! We will have a small get together in a couple of weeks.

Bill DeBasio is running the soup kitchen program this year. We have had a lot of Rotarians step up to help out thus far and are averaging almost 40 meals! Thank you to all! If you would like to sign up for a future Monday, please see Bill.

Rotary Day will be on November 1st at the Community Oven. Please bring a guest! "It starts with an invitation"! We need to work on our membership this year, so lets all extend an invitation to someone and bring that person to a meeting or an event.

World Polio Day was October 24th. We are trying to plan our annual polio fundraiser and will notify everyone when we have the day scheduled. We have reduced polio cases by more than 99.9% worldwide since Rotary began it's effort to lead the first global polio eradication campaign but that small percentage is still there. Polio remains endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan. There is incredible work being done by Rotarians in Pakistan. Over the past few months, new polio outbreaks have occurred in Israel, the United Kingdom, and most recently in New York City.

Visit another Rotary club meeting, attend one of our board meetings, a committee meeting, participate in a service project (blood drive, soup kitchen, bell ringing, etc.) or one of our many fundraisers (Reach to the Beach, Golf Tournament, etc) or simply do an on-line make-up.
