If You Missed The Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Rusti Quarles who talked about Healthy Eating Psychology. Visit her web page at rustiqhealthcoaching.com for more information.

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Dave DeMott, our Family of Rotary Rotarian this week and promptly led us in the Pledge. Caitlin presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Mark, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guests: speaker, Rusti Quarles, and guest, Barbara Donaldson

President’s Announcements:

A volunteer is needed to organize the auction for the Roast coming up on May 14th.

Other Announcements:

Mark C. reviewed the HMH foundation and reminded us that the $15,000 matching fund will go away in September. See Marvin to put your $100 per month in the kitty so by September you will have the $710.00 to qualify for an H. Michael Hayes Fellowship.

Barbara updated us about our newest Interact club at Crown Pointe Academy. They are now doing projects. The latest is Santa for Seniors. There are now 19 members in the club.

Barbara also talked about the Roast. There are a number of great auction items rolling in, thanks to Betsy. The date for the Roast is May 14th.

Barbara also announced a function by the Westminster Rotary Noon club on Jan. 15th. It will be a reunion of members. Call Barbara for information and signups.

John is asking for dictionary distributions. Call him if you have completed your assigned dictionary distribution. Thanks to all of you who have participated. We have distributed just over 1,700 dictionaries.

Doug, our Sgt. at Arms this week, made some sizable extractions from the very energetic Rotarians who actually attended the meeting. Don’t forget, you can makeup missed meetings at any of the Rotary Clubs in our area. Get the app, Rotary Club Locator, for your smart phone.

Dave was extolled by President Mark who thanked him for being an important member of the 7:10 Rotary Club and who has shown us the Service Above Self motto. His prolific profile as the Family of Rotary Rotarian can be found on the front page of the Bemis award winning, Frameable, Ineluctable, EarlyWord newsletter which was profusely available on all of the tables in its elegant 11x17" format. It can also be found on the 7:10 web site at: www.westminster710rotary.org/newsletter.cfm.

President Mark presented The Rotary Moment by showing a video of our RI President giving a speech describing the Rotary theme this year. “Be A Gift to the World.”

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

We closed the meeting right on time with a rousing rending of The Four (no, Five) Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
