Guests:
Past President Steve asked that the guests introduce themselves. Shellie Gehring and Saundra Gregory introduced themselves to the membership. Shellie has attended several meetings and has applied to become a member. Saundra is with Sound Community Bank, is attending her first meeting, and has expressed interest in membership. Both have been involved in Rotary in the past. Christine Bell's introduction was offered by Gary Cohn during the program segment of the meeting.
Announcements: Amy Mutal reminded Rotarians that the Duck Dash branding party is next Monday at 6 p.m. at Lee Johnson’s on 85th. There will be pizza again this year. Due to concerns about spreading the virus, high school students have not been invited to help out this year. Amy noted that if Rotarians have friends whom they know to be vaccinated, then they are welcome to bring a “safe guest” to the party. Any club members who are not vaccinated must wear masks at the event. In response to a guest question, Amy reviewed the purpose and general structure of the Duck Dash, and its contribution to club service projects. |
