Business - 4/1

  • Barbara introduced Lydia with Essential Baskets who delivered a garden-themed gift basket for the raffle at the CPBA cocktail get-together last week.
  • Nick, our newest member, gave a brief Who Am I presentation today: He is an 11 year Rotarian who has moved with his wife to the area from Pittsburg. He is a Paul Harris Fellow and has been involved in community and international service projects, which is what he enjoys most about Rotary. Nick is a registered nurse, with interests in art and sculpture.
  • Membership dues statements are out, so please make your payment. You can now Zelle your payments. Contact Bill for details.
  • Happy hour with CPBA members on Thursday evening was a success by all accounts. We had 24 guests and with our members in attendance we had a good sized group. Thanks to  Laura and Reno and everyone else for the time and effort in putting this event together. Frank is leading the follow-up with prospects.
  • Steve reminded us that the Pick'em Brackets conclude with the championship game on Monday night. Prize monies will be awarded at Tuesday's meeting.
  • Barbara announced that Young and Senior RYLA students have been selected for this year's camp. Thanks to her for the work in selecting these two students.
  • It was agreed that the Epic Day of Service will be a clean up at the Sandcreek Greenway on May 17. Details to follow. It was also mentioned that we won't be able to provide the large Rotary trash container for the park, but a bench with Rotary identification is a likely donation alternative.

The Object of Rotary
is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
