- Happy New Year, Rotarians! And a happy birthday this week to Ray Kitson on 1.12, and Gary Bersell on 1.14! - Mandy has emailed everyone a sign up for our 5th Monday Social event on 1.31, which will be a private tour of Milton House. Please look for her email and sign up. This should be a great experience and opportunity to connect with your fellow Rotarians outside of our meetings. - Our joint Service Club meeting will be rescheduled in late April or May. - Rick won the 50/50 pot of $40(ish) and graciously left the Joker card for the next drawing, or 2. That's a 50/50 chance for the next winning ticket to win the $1379 pot! Bring your $ next week if you want in. - Today we heard from our students Jacob Kranz and Tadyn McCann. You can learn more about them in the Zoom recording. - Our July-December accomplishments are listed below. We have much to be proud of during a difficult second half of 2021, and that is thanks to YOU, our membership. Imagine what we can get accomplished between January and the start of our new Rotary year in July! Up first in the new calendar year are our Community Grants, which are awarded in March. The application form can be found on our website home page. Please share the opportunity with any organization you think would be a good fit for one of our $1000 Grants. - Our next Board meeting will be held on January 19th.
