Next meeting: August 24, 2023 **AT THE Y** (Aug 20, 2023)

Our most recent meeting was led by President Joe Mitchell.

We were also pleased to welcome several guests:

Claire Fowler
Ed and Claire's daughter Angela
Ed and Claire's daughter Missy
Barbara Hunt
Helen Doyle, a former Youth exchange participant who had visited from Taunton, England

A reminder that on August 31st, we'll enjoy a Million Dollar Meal for our evening meeting at Maureen Cody's house. Our District Governor will be attending. This is a potluck event and Maureen is coordinating. Please reply to her message about what you can bring.

In Rotary news, our district is supporting a fundraiser for 9 Hawaiian Rotary clubs. A donation from our club will be discussed at the next Board meeting.

For a Foundation Minute, Joe had the honor of awarding a Paul Harris +1 to Will Mendonca. Thanks for all you do for Rotary, Will, and for representing our club so well. Congratulations!

This week:

We'll be joining the TACC's noontime networking at the Y.

President Joe led a Club Assembly-- an open discussion about goals for the year and an opportunity for input from members. Collecting input from members will be a key objective in the coming year. Joe plans to contact each Rotarian to get feedback about the club. All are encouraged to spend a few minutes thinking about any suggestions or ideas for our club, and get ready for a call from Joe.

Also, a note from Carol Sullivan:

"While visiting Meghan, at St Albans farmers market last Sunday I stopped by the St. Albans Rotary Club table. Pictured with me are Karyn Rocheleau and Norm Choiviere. Their club is pretty much equal in size as ours. This year they’re celebrating their 100th Anniversary.

The Rubber duck sale and raffle is one we should look into!"
