I hope you are all safe and well! It’s May and it’s Rotary’s Youth Service Month.
With everything going on some how I forgot to offer a happy Memorial Day to all. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I would also like thank those who have served in the armed forces or are currently serving. Also, a solemn remembrance of those who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I want to restate that the Board of Directors met last week and we decided that, in the best interest of our membership, we will not meet in-person until after the first of the year. While this may seem to be extreme, we cannot know with certainty what course the virus will take and what the continuing requirements of social distancing will require. We believe that if we setup our regular meeting schedule as Zoom meetings it will allow us to better plan those meetings and other Rotary activities. If for some reason it becomes apparent that it may be safe to meet in person again, we will reconsider this decision. But for now, we will continue with Friday noon meetings via Zoom for the rest of the year.
Our annual pledge forms are being prepared and should sent out very soon. One thing you will notice is that there will not be a section for pre-paid meals, for obvious reasons. There will be a few additional changes so be sure to review them closely when you receive them.
This coming Friday, the 29th which is the fifth Friday of the month, we will not have our regular meeting so why not considering joining us at 4:00 pm for a virtual Zoom happy hour! Last week we had about 12 people join in. This week we will try to add a little excitement and have a trivia contest. No prizes if you win, just the satisfaction of being the smartest person in the zoom meeting.
Have a great week and hope to see you Friday.
