There is a Board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 7:30 a.m. at Southview.  The Board has a heavy agenda.  As most of you know, we were disappointed to learn at last week's meeting that while the Club was able to raise $30,000 for Moonstruck, the $30,000 match will not be honored. The Board will discuss its options as to the members who made the offer and what to do with any sponsors or donations that were specifically made in reliance that there would be matching donations.  Please keep in mind that the event was amazing  this year and everyone, especially Rachel, should be very proud of what we accomplished. You can find the Moonstruck! 2018 photo album in the left-hand column to the newsletter so check it out.

Here's what you need to put on your calendars...

The 17th Annual Rotary Foundation Celebration will be on November 10 at the Oakdale Event Center.  Join the District leadership and Clubs from around our district in celebrating all the inspirational stories (Be the Inspiration), virtual reality situations, wall of wine, raffle and an incredible dinner.  Clubs love to showcase their fundraisers and projects so it's a great way to learn new ideas for us as well as to mingle with other Rotarians in our part of the planet.  Go to the Rotary District 5960 website for all the details or Click here -->More Information. The Club will pay for you and a guest to attend - just let Bridget know you are interested!

You may notice that there are events on the calendar that we haven't mentioned at our Club meetings.  We started adding some of our District's activities on our Events Calendar, such as the Tap Room Tours and the Rotary Foundation Event.  We are all invited to these district-wide events and some of them we'll even pay for! (Not the tap room tours, Bob, Marv and Don. Buy your own beer.)  We will pick the fun ones and try to give some detail about them, but your best bet is to look at the District website.
