NUTRITION ON THE WEEKEND (NOW) will be starting up soon
We need more Rotarians to help with the program.
It involves about one hour each week.

Or, if you can help with the delivery that would be great. Hobie comes at 10:30 and delivers to several of the schools as do Ron & Corrie Corrigal.
Cocktails and fellowship at 5:30, supper at 6:00. Followed by meeting
Bring your own plates and cutlery, lawn chair and any alcoholic beverage should you want. Water and Pop will be provided.

The Upcoming Rotary Book Sale Sept.22-Oct.1/22
Plans are well underway and a big "Thank You" to all Rotarians that have signed up to help. We have several community members volunteering but we still need Rotarians for cash and supervisory roles particularly in the 3-5pm time slots and on Saturdays. Can you spare a couple of hours?
The Ag Building may be cool in the mornings in late September and it has been suggested that 3 -200 amp industrial heaters will take the chill off. We have two, does any Rotarian have another we can borrow ?

Rotary’s Four Roles in Promoting Peace
Rotary and its members are:
Practitioners: Our work fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, improving the health of mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies directly builds the optimal conditions for peaceful societies.
Educators: Our Rotary Peace Centers have trained over 1,300 peace fellows to become effective catalysts for peace through careers in government, education, and international organizations.
Mediators: Our members have negotiated humanitarian ceasefires in areas of conflict to allow polio vaccinators to reach children who are at risk.
Advocates: Our members have an integral role as respected, impartial participants during peace processes and in post-conflict reconstruction. We focus on creating communities and convening groups that are connected, inclusive, and resilient.
Call to Order: 6:00 p.m. by President David Thorne
