If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, August 3, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by Michael Kimara who initiated us about the Invictus Initiative. This program provides services to countries who need them through a self-help agenda.

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10:04 a.m. Matt Porter, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Kevin presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Barbara, being on top of things, then jumped right in and introduced our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guest speaker, Michael Kimara, and other guests: Ruby and Vicky, both from China, Melissa Dalla and Vanessa DeMott.

President’s Announcements:

Barbara introduced the Rotarians who gave the following announcements:

Other Announcements:

Martin told us about the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships. It is a $30,000 a year scholarship to study Conflict Resolution.

Adrian told us about the Beer Fest coming up on September 17 from 5-9 p.m. Our master of ceremonies will be Mac Cummins.

Tom, our Sgt. at Arms this week, made some sizable extractions from the very energetic Rotarians who actually attended the meeting.

Matt was extolled by President Barbara 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 Barbara presented our next Rotary member who answered the question, Why I’m A Rotarian. Dana gave a moving talk about what Rotary means to him/her.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day and told us about Don Knotts’ and his history.

We closed the meeting right on time with a rousing rending of The Four Way Test.

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
