Club Assembly

The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag followed by a Invocation by Bob Carris. The club then did something new, we sang "America the Beautiful'' from the Rotary songbook. (Who knew that Rotary had an official song book?) The singing was so successful that it was decided to sing once a month.

The value of having a Club Assembly once a month was discussed as the attendance is down when we have an Assembly. Those present said they wanted to keep the present format of having an Assembly once a month.

Upcoming Events: July 20 Road Clean up. Need help. Meal Packing Event October 21 from 9:00 to 11:30 at St. Edith's Church, and the Club Picnic at Rotary Park, Pavilion #3 on July 30. Reminder that all events are listed at the end of the Club's newsletter along with signup information.

Tammy Bonifield presented the Treasurer's Report and discussion held on several items. Our club dues will remain the same. If anyone has any questions they are welcome to contact Tammy.

Information came out for District 6400 Governor Nominations. Our club has two members that qualify for nomination, Erin and Tammy.

Bill Friske gave the report of the Giving Committee, which approved grants for four organizations. These groups have all presented to us before.

Our president reported that Maria, our exchange student for 2025-2026, is excited and is starting to prepare for her year.

The Clarenceville cooler project was on hold while it was decided on the location of the door handle.That decision has been made so it is being installed.

Bob Carris' new address in Canton will be emailed to club members.

Dave Burton reported on the Methodist Children's Home Society soccer camp and picnic on August 24. Dave has a new assistant coach. He might need help assembling goal posts so be on the lookout for that information.

The meeting ended with Greg Greene's Dad Jokes.
