Oct. 10, 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!

The event supports veterans and youth.
Food Bank Volunteers Many Thanks!
Dictionaries Ready to go!
Fred Dawson sent out the dictionary list of volunteers. Make some third graders very happy and schedule schools for distribution. If you are on Fred’s list for a particular school, please call the school and make arrangements. Then ask other members to assist in the actual distribution and presentations.
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. Our goal this year is $30,000.
Think out of the box!
Creative thinking and hidden talents will make our Silent Auction at the World’s Greatest Meal (Wednesday, Oct. 30) a huge amount of fun. Every member is encouraged to donate SOMETHING. We welcome gift baskets, handmade items, gift cards to local businesses. If you think you a not talented, get you kids to help you with something creative. Nothing will be too stupid – all in great fun – and will contribute to helping wipe out polio. All proceeds for the evening will go to The Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus program.
Hurricane Helene Donations
Stay tuned for ways to assist those effected by Helene. Our Board will be meeting to discuss and will announce at Thursday’s meeting.

After June, contributions will no longer be invoiced by our treasurer.
