8/8/2014: President Lee's Weekly Message

My Rotary Friends. Today’s meeting was awesome. Most of you know Mountain biking and staying fit is near and dear to my heart. Today’s speaker added fuel to my fire.

For those of you who could not make it, here is what you missed.

From 11:20-11:50 we had a meeting about our upcoming Rotary day. We will publishing details for all soon. We really would like 100% participation from our whole club for this new event. For any new, immediate details contact Kathleen Hutchinson.
This is your reminder: Feel free to start showing up at 11:30 for fellowshipping and to build better relationships.

We had an amazing Rotary Moment thanks to the Rotary Club of Elizabethtown. Check out “The Heart of Rotary”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1TT-fn872U

Mr. Dave Henderer delivered our Rotary Membership moment, REMEMBER EVERYONE – this month is membership month. We have a club goal to have 110 members by 6/30/2015. Bring a guest this month as all guests are free! Share the magic of Rotary with those around you. Our chances to better the world, conquer polio and make our community a better place increase with more members. Lets fill the room next week for our District Governor. Remember, guests are free this month.
Joy reminded us of the importance of helping our schools with school supplies. Watch the Sunday paper for details and refer to Joy’s email from this week with the opportunities. Please bring all supplies to our meeting next week.

Thanks Lu for your awesome Fish auction to benefit Polio. You are amazing. Between you and Rick you raised $250 for freeing the world of Polio. That gets a big thumbs up!!
