Rick Davis expressed an idea in regards to a possible venue for in-person meetings due to the high cost of meals at our current location.  He suggested that we use the culinary students and facilities at BOCES in Coopers Plains during the school year and that we have meetings only once a month during the summer.

 

Dick Perry was experiencing some tech difficulties but in spite of such he noted that many members had expressed to him that they are still not comfortable meeting in person to which Jeff reminded him that they still can participate using the Zoom platform.

 

 

Stu presented a spreadsheet outlining the committees as are now being set up according to the new By Laws.  While many Rotarians are currently on committees or board postions there still are a lot of slots to fill and quite a few Club members who are not participating.  Jeff reminded us that calls will be made to all members who have not made a choice on what committee they want to be on.  Rick Davis stated that he would be more than happy to be on a variety of committees but he is just uncertain as to which he should belong.  He was congratulated on his willingness to emulate the Rotarian spirit.

 

Here is a sampling of committees that need members:

 

Bill Boland showed up via Zoom, to remind everyone of the Cherry Blossom event with planting taking place between 4:00-5:00, the holes are already dug; and at 5:00 there will be a small celebration including cherry sparkling water and cookies with cherries on top.  Congrats to Bill for all his efforts in this wonderful endeavor and group collaboration! Details here.
