Our speaker for Thursday October 17th is Rotarian Justin Seale. Justin is originally from Barbados and is currently living and working in China. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Suzhou China. Karen met Justin while at the RI Convention in Singapore and invited him to join our meeting to share what being a Rotarian is like in China.
We are in need of a "President Elect" for this year which would result in being the President of the club July 1 2025. And either a new Secretary or a new Treasurer.
Please consider joining the board to take on one of these important roles to keep our club moving forward. If you need some information about the duties, please contact Anika, Haley or Karen.
WOOHOOO ! Congratulations to us for being awarded our 1st ever District Grant!!!! We will be sponsoring 2 students to RYLA in June 2025 using grant funds. Karen is looking for 1 or 2 members to assist with the process of searching for students. Our goal is search for 10th graders that are home schooled or in cyber school who may not know about the opportunity as most Rotary Clubs work directly with schools. As you know, Karen has worked with RYLA in both the club and district setting for the past 15 years! Please let her know if you would like to take part in the grant project!! karenandrotary@gmail.com or use the what's app to reach out!!!!
