REMINDER NO MEETING Thursday, Nov. 24 We will meet again on Thursday, December 1 at 7:00 AM Stevies Cafe, Rice Lake
Good Morning!
Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Please take time to reflect on all the blessings we truly are able to enjoy.
Last week Monika brought in Sue Tindell from Travel Leaders to talk about current traveling trends and some winter get-a-ways you might want to consider. Great discussion on what was happening in the travel world and some good ideas on trips! Thank you Monika and Sue.
We will meet again on December 1, our host is Mark B. Please remember to bring in hats/mittens for the Free Clinic!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- HAT/MITTEN DRIVE We are going to be doing a club collection of hats/mittens/gloves for Clare to take to the Free Clinic for any patient who has a need for them. Some kids ones are fine but mostly need adult wear that is new or gently used (please wash before bringing). If you could bring these on December 1 that would be great!
- ROSE SALES We had another successful Rose Sales this year. Here are the details. Thank you everyone for your help and sales this year.
Rose Money brought in with sales 196 dozen = $3,920.00
Expenses (posters, tickets, and 1/4 cost of donated leftover roses) - $1,167.15
Total Profit = $2,752.85
- FOOD PANTRY DONATION We did agree as a club to donate $500 to the county food pantries. We agreed to wait until after our Rose Sales to do this so we have enough in our activity fund. Will finalize next meeting.
- MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION MEETING We are rescheduling our Membership Information Meeting - the date selected is Jan. 19th. This will be a morning breakfast meeting here at Stevies. Think about who you may want to invite as a potential future member.
The purpose of this meeting is to invite those interested in learning about Rotary. It is an opportunity to showcase what we are all about and increase our membership.
To help with recruitment, we are offering a provisional membership for 3 months (lower cost) so potential members can check us out before committing to a full membership. Please continue to reach out to the people Don Drost helped us to identify and any others you think might be interested.
- BELL RINGING We will be setting up our Bell Ringing schedule in the next couple weeks - please look at your calendar for a time/location that you would like to fill in to help us out! If you have a preference to date/location, please let me know!!
- RUBY'S PANTRY Don has coordinated a Ruby's Pantry volunteer opportunity for our club members for SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17th. We will meet at the Ruby's Pantry Delivery location at The Living Water's Church in Cameron (on the east side of Hwy SS 2 blocks before the lights). Dress for working outside. Please let Don know if you can attend. Would like as many as possible to join in!
