Hello:
"Autumn leaves drift by the window. . ." This afternoon that song went through my mind as I looked at leaves falling. Actually they were blowing rather than drifting. Enjoy the color of the season before it all blows away.
Our annual Rotary Rose Sale was another success thanks to all of you selling, Randy heading up the fundraiser, volunteers working to unload and distribute flowers, and Arien and Mary Ann's Floral for ordering and following up for those who forgot to pick up on Wednesday. We sold 351 roses and mixed bouquets. Craig sent out a financial report of the sale. The proceeds will help us continue community projects
Depending on the upcoming weather, eventually the gazebo garden will need pruning for the winter. When that time comes, I'll ask for a few volunteers to assist the member assigned to that week. Many hands make light work!
This Friday's meeting (Oct. 6) will be online only via Zoom with District Governor Michelle McGrath. We will join on our own, not meeting at Elsie's.
Michelle McGrath, Ph. D. joined 528 Rotarians around the globe when she became District Governor of District 6250. A member of the Rotary Club of Madison Dr. McGrath is an educator and community leader with more than twenty-seven years of professional experience. Currently the Executive Director of the Waunakee Community Cares Coalition, she has been a teacher, coach, administrator, college professor and a non-profit executive. Michelle is a published author and speaks nationally about her research on “The Urgency of Youth Leadership”. Recently selected by Brava Magazine as one of Madison’s Women to Watch she encourages all of us, especially youth, to live a fearless and fulfilled life.
DG Michelle has previously served as District trainer, RYLA Chair, as well as President of her home Club, Rotary Club of Madison, one of the largest in the Rotary world.
With regret we say farewell to Franci who has moved to Switzerland and transferred her membership from our club to a club near her in Switzerland.
