Our meeting this week:
Rotary has a new look. In our club, our new president is Rickard Meek. Meek is retired and lives on M-40 on Cedar Lake. He swung the gavel for the first time to begin the meeting and introduced our new District Governor, Don Frome accompanied by his lovely wife Ann Marie, new assistant district governor, Eric Shafer and guest Bob Harvey, accompanied by his daughter, Judy.
After taking care of some business matters, Meek introduced Frome as our speaker. Don reviewed Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith and our new theme for the year; "Bridging communities, bridging continents. "We serve you and want to serve you better." Frome said. Clubs are at the top of the order. "Governors, Presidents and leadership is here to serve you and help where needed", not the other way around. "People talk about the good old days; the good days are ahead of us. We look forward to what is to come."
Rotarians hold to the four way test. Don added a fifth, F-U-N! Make meetings fun. He said Marcellus is truly a fun club.
The fifth avenue of service for Rotarians is New Generations. This should be called youth. We have RYLA, (Rotary Youth Leadership Academy), Youth Exchange, Interact clubs at the high school level and Rotaract for college age youth.
Don and Ann Marie will work their way around the district to attend meetings for 58 clubs. We were glad to see them and hear him speak.
Rotary is the only worldwide service organization that has no administration fees for donations. 100% of contributions go to designated areas of service. This is why Bill Gates has matching funds with Rotary to eradicate polio worldwide.
Next week, Bob Harvey will be our guest speaker.
