Before we offer you the list of what to expect, may we remind you that while our "business meeting" starts at 7:30 a.m., our meetings are open for fellowship, networking, and general visiting with friends from 7:00. Please think about the benefits of arriving at 7:00 or 7:15 and having time to chat with old friends and to get to know new friends.
Our Program This week:
A bonus to our program this week will be our presentation of Rotary support to
Kristy Pike, Director of the Washington County Children's Justice Center.
The "Program"
Kathy Hall, Washington County School District Elementary Literacy Coordinator
and
Sunset Elementary School Principal,
Heather Campbell
will be with us as we launch into another year of "listening" to 3rd graders read. Awesome project! So happy it continues into this school year!
Our Program Next Week:
The Rotary Foundation (TRF)
Before we move on to Service, a couple of Club Business details....
* President Darrin has reestablished the protocol of presenting potential new members to our Club to the entire membership.
We have an application for membership to our Club from Larry White, a former Rotarian now in our area. He has attended a couple of meetings so some of you may have met him the Board has approved his membership and we will induct him in the next few weeks unless we hear objections from Club members.
* PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES!
As you may have noticed, President Darrin has instituted a weekly slide show to feature all the stuff we do! This is in addition to the bulletin - occasional photos - and Sandi's newsletter which includes weekly photos if available.
We need your help to keep the smiles going! If you have photos taken in the morning meetings, the service projects, or special events (or even an occasional blackmail photo of a club member (hehe), please share them with Sandi and Marla.

Meetings of the Board.
The calendar this year AND the conflicts this Fall have really made a mess of the plan to carefully (and in an organized fashion) plan our board meetings.
Didn't happen....

The meetings will be held at 3:00 in the afternoon at Ron Wilhelm's office:
Paramount Tax & Accounting

St. George.
Board members, please plan to attend. Club members are always welcome.
Thank You Veterans Club for your service!
