President's Message

April is Rotary Magazine Month

“Being a Rotarian is a shared experience and like attending a Rotary club meeting, reading our Rotary magazine is an essential part of that shared experience"

Ron Burton, RI President 2013-14

Last month, we celebrated Literacy Month and this month, we reflect on how through reading we can improve our knowledge of Rotary. Everything in our lives depends on consistent, accurate and constant communication.  We receive Rotary communications regularly through our club bulletins, emails from various sources, our Club & District websites. Being informed is up to each of us, there is so much available to us on line and through printed materials; please make use of these tools.

Since we did not have a meeting on March 30th there are no meeting notes. However the roadside cleanup counted as your meeting attendance.  Many hands made a quick job of the cleanup and the great fellowship after for lunch was well attended.  Thanks to all who helped keep our roadside clean. Thank you Alex, for getting all the materials to us and organizing the cleanup, glad we could get it done before Delling's birthday celebration.

MEMBERSHIP ENGAGEMENT FORM

Please fill out the form on membership engagement for the District. To date only three of our members have done so. It is a quick easy thing to do, so please get it in as soon as possible. It would be great to have 100% participation again this year.

Our next meeting, April 6th, Jerry Morrison, Director of Foundation will present the program. This will to be interesting as well as educational.

Alice Collingwood from the Rotary Club of LaConner will be visiting us again. (She was our speaker a few weeks ago on Service Dogs) She will bring tulips from LaConner to sell. If you would like to purchase some they are $5.00 per bunch. This is one of their fund-raisers; it is nice to support other Rotary Clubs.
