Thanks to everyone who joined our meeting! We had 47 people on our Zoom meeting including 43 Steamboat Rotarians, 1 visiting Rotarian, and 3 guests.
Ellen Kendall inducted Ed Albright. Welcome back to the club Ed!
Paul Hebert provided Thoughts for the Day in memory of Mike Roberts:
"Never Blame anyone in your life, good people give you happiness bad people give you experience. The worst people give you a lesson, and the best people give you memories. All who know Mike Roberts have great memories of him."
"As you walk west and east and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life."
"The secret of health for both the mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."
"One moment can change a day, one day can change one life, and one life can change the world."
Ian Engle raised $568.04 through Good News.
Michelle Garner raised an astonishing $330 for Lift Up!
We were lucky to have Past District Governor Chuck Rutenberg join us to talk about the Rotary International Foundation and remind us of the incredible impact the foundation has worldwide. Brian Harvey was recognized as a Paul Harris +1 and Lori Livingston was recognized as a Paul Harris +2. Also, Margaret Redfern was honored with a Paul Harris Fellowship from the club for her work on the Peace Pavilion!
We also learned a little about the Paul Harris Recognition points that are accrued when we give to the foundation. These points are available for honoring others with Paul Harris Fellowships. If you would like to know about your level of giving or the PH Recognition points you have, please reach out to Scott Marr at scottamarr@gmail.com. Wouldn't a Paul Harris Fellowship be a great gift for someone in your life this year?
