I hope you are as excited as I am to gather in person! I am looking forward to starting a new year with new ideas and continuing the projects we have done in the past, perhaps with a new twist. Put your thinking caps on!
The years 2020 and 2021 made us jump through many hoops. Both Nancy and Ashley met the challenge of the 'Zoom' meetings with such grace. I am so fortunate to have them as mentors and part of our Rotary team.
Currently, our main focus moving forward is the Imagination Library. We would like to get as many children under 5 living in our school district enrolled in the program as possible, so if you know of any, please send their parents to www.imaginationlibrary.com to enroll. Ashley is planning on applying for a Thrivent grant to purchase some promotional materials, and we hope to partner with the school to host an event to get kids signed up. Let's all get involved to make this a huge success!
We also need nominations for our club's Rotarian of the Year! Please send in your nomination along with a reason you are nominating that club member to Mary Mell by email (mmheaventouch@gmail.com) by Friday, July 16th!
Mark your calendars for a fun social event, "The Mell-Function", on July 30th at Site #3 at Wildcat Landing & Campground in Brownsville. Families are invited. Please RSVP to Mary Mell. I hope to see you there.
Respectfully,
Sherry Sime
Thank you to Ashley for June programs and invocations!
