Sept. 12, 2024 The Magic of Rotary!
We’re trying to improve Zoom presentation!
- If you are attending via Zoom, during the mealtime go into the Breakout Room and you will still be able to converse with others on Zoom. When meal is over, come back to the main room.
- If you have a speaker who wants to present a Power Point or other screen, please have the material sent to Bill Sullivan 24 hours ahead of the meeting. He will then have the presentation ready to share
Reminder: check out our Facebook page for pictures!

Community Day Sunday
If you are available, Jamie needs a few more volunteers for Community Day, Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. We will be at space 307 near Mitchell Hall. It’s a great day to met up with old friends and neighbors, support our Flags For Heroes, and support Rotary. Watch for flags flying in the breeze.
Food Bank Volunteers Needed
Sign up now to join other members at the Food Bank on Oct. 1, 6-8 p.m. We typically fill backpacks for students or boxes for community pickup. Lots of fun while doing a valuable service for our community. You must register at fbd.org. for the Oct. 1 date. Jerry Holt specifically registered us for a Tuesday evening on the request of our club members.
Sponsorship of Flags now available
Don’t wait till November. Talk up sponsorship of our Flags For Heroes now so your COMPANY name or YOUR name can be on a Heroes medallion. So far we have raised more than $1 million to support veteran, military, and youth programs just by sponsorships of flags. This year we have a new level of Stars and Stripes Sponsor for $10,000. See Cindi for a flyer.
Are you wearing your Rotary pin proudly everyday?
The reason for even having a Rotary pin is to broadcast to everyone you are in contact with that you are proud of being a Rotarian and it represents who you are. Wearing it just to a meeting is missing the point. We know you are a Rotarian, now show the world who you are. And have that 30 second elevator speech ready to answer the question, “What’s Rotary?”
Sign up for Rotary Direct NOW
Beginning in the new Rotary year, all NMRC members are asked to make their Rotary Foundation contributions directly to TRF via Rotary Direct. Instructions will be provided. After June, contributions will no longer be invoiced by our treasurer. This will get your money to TRF faster, get your tax recognition faster, enable you to manage your contributions, and free up the responsibility from our treasurer. Specific instructions will becoming.

Thought For the Week (thanks, Paul!):
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at this moment, it’s worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote the Hokey Pokey, died peacefully at age 93.
The most dramatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in, and that’s when all the trouble started …
