New Zoom practice going into play – in order to keep better control of those who want to give Happy Dollars, and keep us from talking over each other, “Raise Hand” will be put into use. Click on “participants” at bottom middle of your screen, click on “more” and your will see “Raise hand”. Click on this when you want to be recognized. Then click on “Lower hand” when done. The host will call on you to speak. Otherwise, please mute yourself while others speak.
Happy/Crappy Dollars? We are still accepting them weekly, but you need to keep track of them and pay up when we meet again in person. Remember the Four Way Test???

A Thank You
A note of thanks was received this week:
Dear Rotarians,
Thank you very much for a wonderful present on my birthday #84. It was a very surprise for me. Everything was perfect and I will appreciate the good idea. Thanks to all the members of the club.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
