If You Missed The Meeting…

Greetings 7:10 Rotarians and Friends,

If you missed the meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2015, you missed a very informative presentation by our District Governor who reminded us that the RI President will be here in Denver at the President’s Dinner on January 4th. The cost will be $55.00. Our club will pay for Rotarians to attend. Polio was a major theme this morning. The DG asked us to continue to give to Polio Plus to eradicate Polio. The RI Foundation is the engine that drives Rotary. Please consider giving $100.00 per year (EREY).

President Mark opened the meeting at 7:10 a.m. Mark Wilson, our Family of Rotary Rotarian this week and promptly led us in the Pledge. Chris 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,Click here to enter text. who introduced guests: speaker, District Governor, Mary Kay Hasz and guests, Judge Chris Melonakis and Jennifer Shannon, a guest of Sheree Goodwin.

President’s Announcements:

President Mark asked everyone to sign up for the meeting on Oct. 21. Our guest will be Alvin Law, an amazing inspirational speaker. Please call Mark if you didn’t get a chance to sign up.

Other Announcements:

Barbara gave us the opportunity to attend or give to the CASA luncheon. It will be happening on later in November. Please see or call Barbara if you want to attend. She also talked about the Roast Committee meeting right after next week’s meeting.

Judge Melonakis did a marvelous dissertation about what happens to a child under the inadequate care of Child Protective Services. He pointed out that CASA is an important part of protecting children in spite of the program.

Garth reminded us that Sat., Oct. 17 and 24 will be distribution days for C4K. Please put these dates your calendars so we can get more members involved due to the large number of kids coming for the distribution. This coming weekend will be the C4K retreat, thanking the C4K crew for their weekly service to C4K.

Blaine, our Sgt. at Arms this week, made some sizable extractions from the very energetic, but small group of Rotarians who actually attended the meeting.

Mark 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.

It can also be found on the 7:10 web site at: www.westminster710rotary.org/newsletter.cfm.
