Greetings,
What a superb club social we had Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Dan and Jan Small for hosting us with beverages, food and comaraderie! The art studio tour was an extra benefit. Most of us ended up with some of Jan's "leftover" paintings. Of course we felt obligated to take them since she didn't want to move them to Washington  .
Neighbors Day was a success on Friday, April 25. We had 5 hard working teams, plus 9th and 4th graders, attacking 29 yards in Caledonia. Thanks to Sherry for organizing the operation as well as raking some yards, helping to haul loads to the city dump, and lugging the collection of rakes to Mary Ann's and back to her garage. Thanks to Mary Ann's for giving us a spot to send out teams. Appreciation also goes to members Dan, Tom, Craig, and Andrea and to City Manager, Jake Dickson. And, the follow up pizza and beverage hit the spot!
Dan announced that he and Jan will be moving to Washington . . . probably the end of June. The Board discussed leadership for our 2025-26 year. Dan has agreed to presidential tasks from afar. We thought members could take turns facilitating our meetings. We will discuss this further at our May 2nd meeting and I will provide a sign up sheet so we can each take a month of meetings. Who knows, we may be starting a whole new approach to club leadership?
Recipients of four $500 scholarships have been selected. They will receive their checks after completing the first quarter/semester and continuing their education.
Enjoy May flowers.
In Rotary Service,
Naomi
