Don Bladen spoke to us about The Salvation Army, in particular, WHY the Army exists. It is best said by their founder William Booth and his wife Catherine. It is for "Others"!
Don and Donna Bladen having some fun at a Salvation Army event. And you thought those pies were for someone to eat!

Thank you Don Bladen (Salvation Army) for your presentation on Monday. How often we hear that some of our best speakers are our own members. Certainly the case this week!
 
Using the new Rotary Theme, "Rotary Opens Opportunities", new President Allan challenges us to consider what opportunities we do open or we can open in the year ahead. This was followed by a lively discussion on what may lie ahead of us.

The July 6 week Live meeting was cancelled as President Allan was showing symptoms and needed a Covid test. The test was negative but to be cautious we cancelled that meeting.
 
To allow us more reaction time, for the next while we will alternate gatherings between Live and Zoom meetings. Next week is Live and the registration notice has been sent to you. Here it is again.
Dues are due. Those who remain on the club books as of July 1 are responsible for 2020-21 dues. Thanks if you have already paid.
