Welcome to the weekend and Happy Halloween,
 
Don’t be “Tricked” into thinking last week was the extent of our winter, but enjoy the “Hauntingly” warm temps this weekend.  Find this week’s link for the meeting below along with some updates from our club. 
 
International news, the first female RI president has been elected…  Jennifer Jones, member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, will become Rotary International’s president for 2022-23, a groundbreaking selection that will make her the first woman to hold that office in the service organization’s 115-year existence.   Jones says she wants to harness this moment of change to develop metric-driven goals that challenge us to innovate, educate and communicate opportunities that reflect today’s realities.
 
“We know that Rotary is a place where leaders and those with the vision and drive to create change can thrive. And such leaders are found from every age, gender, race and background. Diversity, equity and inclusion should begin at the top, and for us to welcome new leaders into our organization and expand our ability to make an impact, we need to build stronger bridges that help everyone see themselves reflected, celebrated and valued here in Rotary,” Jones said.
 
Welcome to the November Youth Rotars…  Joining us for November from LHS we have Jared DeRoche, McKayla Blaser, and Sarah Price.  
As always make them feel welcome, help introduce them to what Rotary is and does.  We are community role models for them. 
 
The 2nd Monday of the month of November  11/9/2020 we will be visiting the new Boys & Girls Club and YMCA. Thanks to Kent and Bret for hosting. Tentative start time of 5:15pm, final details to come next week.
