Rotary news:

Mitchell’s are traveling over the south to visit grandkids and great-grandkids. Hope they are safe with the hurricanes. Judy is on vacation this week. Beatrice and Loic were missing…

Looking back over old newsletters this editor has some questions: What Xmas tree materials are we awaiting, Mr. President? And, since when is Janet on the Foundation Board? Roger Jacobs was the third board member until his resignation last week. A new member is needed. There will NEVER be a husband and wife sitting on that board simultaneously. Very bad plan! Find another member, guys.

One of the upcoming meetings should be finishing up the by-law changes and naming a new board member for the Scituate Rotary Foundation. Also, what are we doing to recognize Mr. Driscoll’s new status?

Wednesday’s meeting:

H$S$ highlights – Jack told a great story about Block Island . He promised me some info to include in this letter. But, alas, we owe you. We learned not to use our speed control setting during rain conditions as you lose control hydroplaning. Important to know! New Sustaining Membership stickers are available if anyone wants one. Walter won the draw but lost to the queen. Sorry, Walter.

We began reviewing the Board of Director meeting but did not make much progress. The club finances are in excellent shape and therefore we can afford to send the president to the district conference each year. Also, we can fund anyone who wants to attend District day events. We owe money to the food pantry and the South Shore Council. All of these expenses come from the club account – NOT the Foundation account. This is member money, not donated monies.

We need to do more committee work. Maybe we can use the regular Wednesday meeting to do some committee work…Finalizing details for phonebook, planning our Centennial visibility, vocational service activities, etc.

I am out of space and words. Sorry for the delay.        

Janet
