Fun and Frolic – The club agreed that the Rotary Foundation would be the benificiary. Dana McCoy gave $50 for her trip (destination a secret) and Lori Lowe contributed $60 ($50 for her new car and $10 for our generation during power outage). Several members gave $10 gifts for having generators and one gave $10 happy bucks for no power loss! Lori Lowe, who gave the most, selected the YWCA as next week’s Fun and Frolic charity.
Jennifer Jones RI President 2022-23
Program: Christie Zepzauer introduced our District Governor, Tom Brooks, noting his many contributions to our Rotary District and Scouting. Governor Brooks began by saying that Rotary has elected its first woman R.I. President, Jennifer E. Jones, from Ontario, Canada, for the year 2022-23. He then described Rotary Zones, noting that we are in Zone 29 and with Zone 25 are in Region 26 which stretches from Canada to Texas. He talked about meeting the current R.I. President, Halger Knack, from Germany. He said the new President has only three things he wants to emphasize for the coming year:
(1) Cure polio.
(2) Grow Rotary Impact.
(3) Rotaract/Interact and Youth Exchange
In closing, D.G. Tom said “lets get caught doing Rotary in public this year!”
Next week: Host: Christine Mitchell, Bob Sondgeroth, “St. Jude’s Ride.”
