If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by President Barbara who presided over a CLUB ASSEMBLY. We heard from each of the committee chair people and what each committee is doing. Yes, you just had to be there.

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Lin Rouse our Family of Rotary Rotarian led us in the Pledge. Ryan 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, told us there were no guests.

President’s Announcements:

Barbara introduced our newest member, Melissa Dalla, who was inducted this morning.

Other Announcements:

Garth updated us about C4K. The foundation board approved the purchase of storage racks for the new C4K building. We will be putting these together on Saturday, September 17th at 9:00 am at our Guardian Storage facility. Then on Saturday, October 1st.

Brian told us about a concert at Denver 1st Church on October 22. This is a Christian music concert and will be an exceptional concert. For more information, call or write to Brian Hall.

Caitlin gave us a Peach update which included the fact that we sold 40 more boxes of peaches than last year. Many thanks to everyone who helped.

Chris, 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.

Lin was extolled by President Barbara who thanked her for being an important member of the 7:10 Rotary Club and who has shown us the Service Above Self motto. Her 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. Lin gave a moving talk about what Rotary means to her.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day: “Be kind to one another.”

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

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
