-Thank you to Joyce Valenti, our guest from the Windham NY club, for a wonderful invocation on the spirit of Rotary and helping others.
-Speaking of helping others, our World Community Service projects are going well. Thanks in particular to Roland and Paulette for staying involved with this. We are funding an improved kitchen in Kenya and a survey for a better water system in Uganda. The international spirit of Rotary is very important. A small but meaningful way to help is to use our Clynk bags which you can pick up at Heather's store (Whimsical ME on Main Street in Saco). Every $500 we raise sends another student to school.
-The board approved a $1500 donation to APEX Youth Connection (Melissa's very wonderful organization).
Happy Dollars

We had a great talk from Dr. Joe. It was a very compelling and moving story. Has Dr. Joe visited Norway 36 times, or did he fail organic chemistry 36 times? Find out at our next meeting.
