FOR ROTARIANS WHO MISSED THE MEETING – October 27, 2015
(Thanks to Steve Hitchcock, President Elect, for running the meeting last week. And to all those who attended and participated!)
GREETERS: Thanks to Dan Shields and Jim Steinberg for being greeters and to Jim for doing our introductions. Sorry Jim, we are simply incapable of not clapping for each guest!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Thanks John Kuhn for sharing some meaningful quotes from one of the first motivational speakers to gain national fame: Zig Ziglar!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Thought for the Day: Alice Klauzer passed around a sign-up sheet for members to volunteer for “Thought for the Day” and encouraged new members to do this item on their Good Beginnings Checklist. We will try to use the new Club Runner method soon!
Four Way Test in Middle School: Gillian Morris reminded us that next week (Tues. Nov. 3 10:00 – 11:30) is our 4 – Way Test program for 8th graders at Steamboat Middle School. This is a great opportunity to share Rotary with our youth in a very fun and enlightening way. If you have never done this, you are missing out on something good!
Home Hospitality: Jackie Brown mentioned there are several openings for our Home Hospitality night on Wednesday – hopefully, everyone participated who wanted to. Thanks to Jackie for organizing this.
Grants Committee: Jeremy Behling announced a committee meeting and encouraged members to join this committee. The meeting is Thursday (29th) 3:30 – 4:30 at Alpine Bank. If you can’t attend, and want to join this committee, let Jeremy know.
Interact Club’s Visit to Denver Homeless Shelters: Margaret Lichtenfels, Interact Club President, thanked our club for our financial support ($300) and shared a few words on a successful Interact trip to a couple of Denver’s Homeless Shelters. What Margaret didn’t say is that she gave up her spot so that some younger Interact students could participate on the trip. Very “leader-like”, Margaret! And thank you to Steve Frasier’s wife, Mischael, who stepped in and drove several students.
The Situation – Jim Moylan announced the end of it. And encouraged us to see his message sent by Club Runner and speak with him if any questions. There was hearty applause upon his announcement! Thank you for bringing us to the finish line, Jim!
STEAMBOAT MINUTE: (Actually 1 ½ minutes this time)
Ashley Kane, Western Paper Distributors, sells not just toilet paper, but all cleaning and janitorial supplies. Brian Harrington, Family Physician, Yampa Valley Medical Associates, specializing in family and internal medicine, and most proud of 4 children, Tony Counts, sells PowerICE and gave 30 second “rap” about the wonders of powerICE! Thanks all!
ROTARIANS OF THE MONTH: Congratulations to Carol Parish and Steve Sehnert, Co-chairs for the Barn Dance! So much work and such a success! Highest attendance and revenue numbers look outstanding too! Thank you both for your excellent leadership and contributions.
PROGRAM: Thank you to Sharon Mensing for organizing a presentation by our RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and Young RYLA students.
Margaret Lichtenfels, Charlie Harrington (son of Brian Harrington) and Emi Constantini shared an overview of their week last summer at RYLA in Estes Park and their insightful learning's, praise and gratitude for their experiences.
Elise Barbier and Allison Schlict (daughter of Suzanne Schlict) also shared their learning's and experiences with Young RYLA. We learned that both RYLA and YRLA “change lives” and that clearly these students are wonderful ambassadors for Rotary and they are, indeed, our future leaders! Thanks also to parents who attended our meeting: Tom Lichtenfels, Brian Harrington, and Mark Anderson (Mark’s son, Ben Anderson was not able to attend the meeting) Congratulations on raising such amazing teenagers!
Good News: Thanks to Alice Klauzer who did her usual fun Good News!
Program Next Week: Four Way Test at Middle School – 10:00 – 11:30 For questions, contact Gillian.
