If You Missed the Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, you missed a very informative presentation by our own Mac Cummins who gave us an update about the New Westminster Downtown.

President Barbara opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Cliff, our Family of Rotary Rotarian, led us in the Pledge. Chris presented a very meaningful and thankful invocation. President Barbara, being on top of things, then jumped right in and recognized our very efficient Secretary, Ryan Holocher, who introduced guest speaker, Mac Cummins. and other guests: Tim Carlson, Christina Schappacher and Barb Donaldson

President’s Announcements:

Barbara introduced our new Exchange Banner. Pick one up when you visit another club and exchange banners.

Barbara also reminded us about the CASA lunch coming up on October 20th.

Barbara reminded us about the Leadership program on October 8th. She thanked us for taking the survey that recently went out about raising our dues. A vote changing the dues needs to be made and will take place next week.

Other Announcements:

Garth thanked all who helped set the shelving in our new C4K facilities. We will be moving computers and other equipment over the next two Saturdays. Save those dates and be there at the Sports Center by 8:30 am. A cleaning crew needs to be there on Friday at 11:00 am.

Mark updated us about the recent Craft Beer Fest. We had a great event. Mark thanked all who helped make it a success.

Cliff 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. Blain gave a moving talk about what Rotary means to him.

Joe T. had a Thought for the Day.

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

Yours in Rotary Service, Loren
