Happy New Year!

 
Welcome back to Rotary this year, 2023. The meeting started with sharing the dedication of Dr. Huston, who was Zooming in from the slopes on a ski trip. The meeting began with a blessing from Martha Brown and the Virtue of Loyalty read by "Loyal Laura" Bock as President Halverson expressed thanks. 
 
Club Announcements: 
Dr. Hanson now posted a new sign at Boxers, sighting that the pull tabs support Faribault Youth. 
 
In Fellowship with Carrie Ann Pollard: 
  • Greg and Rebekah thanked everyone who shared in their open house on New Year's Eve. 
  • Mark shared his great time back home in Michigan with family, other than the Wolverine's bowl loss. 
  • Rod reminded us (and was happy) the Gophers won their bowl game. 
  • During the latest snowstorm, Sue Garwood shared thanks for the Faribault plows on their road work. 
  • Dr. Hanson shared that he moved many historical records to the Rice County Historical Society over the winter break. 
  • Natalie shared her thanks to Greg & Rebekah's hospitality and her honor for the pasting of Jim (Earl) Crowl. Natalie honored Jim as a community provider, loyal community supporter, dear friend, and exceptional neighbor.
