Announcements

Kent did his usual good job with the Rotary Minute, speaking about membership. He reminded us that it is everyone’s responsibility to help increase membership and also to help keep new members involved.

Info regarding the upcoming District Conference April 20-22 was available and registration forms are on the District website.

This year’s RI conference is in Salt Lake City and info was on the tables.

PDG Talee Crow will be our speaker on 2/20 and will educate us on the Foundation. Following up on that, both Jeff and Randy shared their feelings about the Quad District function on Friday, January 19th. RI President Boyd was incredible in his speech, sitting on a stool and seemingly having a conversation with the crowd. The event, which happens each year, is one NOT to be missed.

Jeff again spoke about the Foundation and the Penny Regiment. The District has some matching funds available to assist Rotarians in achieving their Paul Harris Fellow.

Kent asked for volunteers for the May 12 "Putting on the Green" fundraiser for Interfaith. Our Foundation usually pays the $1000, but Randy asked members, we need 5, to get some pledges on their own. Kent will be at the graduation of their child at UNC that day.

Ken H. said that 13 people from the Club had signed up for the Winter Park Ski Train. Please pay Ken the $44 directly.

Mark Gale brought a "very" cool walking stick as a traveling gift from his trip to Mexico.
