Another positive month……….

 

We welcomed nine Interact Seniors at our May 13^th meeting.  It was so inspiring to hear from each of them about their experience as Interactors and their plans for their future after graduation.  They have successfully recruited more Interact members for a total of 21 for next year!

 

Our very first city-wide garage sale was a success, bringing in almost $800 from free-will donations.  Thank you to everyone for donating your time and treasures.  At 3 pm the remaining treasures were happily accepted by Twice Is Nice.  Entrepreneurs that we are, two sales were completed over the weekend using Facebook.

 

The obligations for the Sprague Woods Grant have been satisfied.  A little hands-on work is still needed to rid the woods of smaller invasive plants.  Stay tuned for a work date.

 

The sign-up sheet for greeters, programs, and invocations for 2022-2023 is available.  If you don’t get a chance at our regular Friday meetings, contact a board member to sign up.  To finish up this year, please turn your pledges into Arien by June 10.  It is very important we meet our monetary goals to be able to submit grants for future projects. 

 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Rotary President.  I was hesitant, but it has been a very rewarding learning experience for me, and my term has flown by.  I am proud of our accomplishments, and we have a line-up of activities going into the 2022-2023 Rotary year.  Let’s keep it snowballing and find more ways to offer ‘service above self’ to our community.

 

Embrace the New Day – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could.  Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

 

I invite you to Embrace the New Year!
