She arrived during our meeting on December 19, she is truly a Rotary Baby!!  At 12:45 President Carol delivered this precious bundle of joy and her name is Harper May Duris.  She weighted in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and is 21 inches long.  Carol and Scarlett and Grandma Kathleen are adjusting their schedules around the needs of Harper and are loving every minute.  CONGRATULATIONS President Carol!! 

 

We have the opportunity to kick off the new year with another wonderful chance to serve our community.  The Science Olympiad will be held at Curtis Jr. High School on Saturday January 11. There are a wide variety of volunteer options with some starting as early as 7 am and some that will end at 530.  They need help with many tasks such as helping to manage/grade tests, manage events, sort the paperwork to be delivered to the various schools, concession stand duties, and organizing the score room information as the events are processed. Please contact  Gil Quante at gil.quante@n2pub.com or Jim Whitacre at whit@wamail.net  if you would like to help.

Special thanks to all of our committees and the work they do to keep our club vibrant. Along with the Committees listed above our Communications Committee is capturing our meeting photos, working on our Facebook page and has produced articles for our District Magazine. Our Engagement and Pandaka Committees are assuring new and seasoned members are fully involved in the club.  Our Program Committee continues to recruit and manage interesting and thoughtful meeting speakers. Our Finance Committee helps every week with fine-counting as well as reviewing our financials.  Our Scholarship Committee is gearing up for the new year and is tracking the dedicated students who have received awards. Our Classification Committee works closely with membership to assign classifications to our new members. Our Fellowship Committee continues to provide social opportunities for members to gather outside of our weekly meetings. Our Military Affairs Committee produced a touching and thoughtful Veterans Day program and continue to look for other ways the club can support the military men and women in our community. Our small but mighty Vocational Services Committee recruits meeting sponsors every week as well as our Thursday at 5 hosts.  Be looking for an announcement soon from this committee for the Business Expo in the spring! Last, but certainly not least is the committee that has a HUGE impact on our ability to do everything listed above - our wonderful Auction Committee.  They are Calling All Heroes for the auction on May 2, there is a place for every single member to make a difference!

 

If you aren't yet tied into a committee what a great way for you to start the New Year!!!
