Why you didn't get a Clubrunner invite for today's meeting?
The short answer is, it's because Brian Dallaire is on vacation... in the Bahamas... no, I am not making that up. No, life is not fair.
He's the one that knows how to do the fancy stuff like a Clubrunner meeting invite.
But we are still meeting at Ricetta's today at 12:15.
They are cooking the food now and it will be a nice hot buffet.
There will be plenty so just show up. Especially if you are on the slate of new officers, or would like to be.
The only thing on the program is to vote on that slate of incoming officers, and a couple announcements, like:
- We'd like you to be at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Biddeford at 8:30AM on Saturday to help Wreaths Across America. The reason we want you there early: we don't just put wreaths on veterans graves. We stop, we say the veteran's name, and take time to honor their service. Our job is to train visitors and other volunteers, to make sure that happens. Rain or shine, snowing sideways, we need you there.
- Karen Chasse and Heather Gendron will have an Adopt A Family update.
- Can you ring the bell for the Salvation Army on Monday the 20th? Well, good. Email Bill Southwick to let him know when you're available. One hour is great. Bill's at:
- Next week's meeting is a Yankee Swap gift exchange. That means buying a gift under $25, ideally from a local business, that you think a fellow Rotarian would like. Wrap it but don't put a name on it. Zoom people, too (you'll have to unwrap it for the camera). Then we all duke it out and try to get the gift we actually want. I hope it will be a good time of holiday fellowship, and thanks to Don Pilon for the great idea!
The Zoom link for today's meeting is here. Kathy Shea and Kim Regoulinsky will be greeters. It should be a fun meeting and I'm looking forward to it.
Yours in service,
Marty
