Club Update 
Our president Marta Diffen provided an update on various aspects of Rotary International and our Rotary Club.
 
 
While at a conference years ago, she learned something that stuck with her: to motive people, concentrate on strengths, not weaknesses. We all have strengths, so use them through our Rotary club to help locally and globally.
 
Out club is incredibly active, but on average we lose about twenty members per year, so adding new members is an ongoing goal. 
 
Here are a few of the many opportunities to provide community service through Rotary, so find something that interests you and volunteer.
 
1.  Blue Santa- gifts for those in need at Christmas time.
2.  Bell Ringing at Gibson's for the Salvation Army.
3.  Tree Watering at the Rotary Grove.
4.  Scholarships for Youth.
5.  Josh the Otter Water Safety Program.
6.  Support Peace Making.
7.  First Responders support.
8.  Youth Citizenship Awards.
9.  Veterans Pantry and Annual Breakfast.
10. Rotary Foundation support.
11. Highway trash clean up.
12. UGRA River Clean up
13. Rise Against Hunger.
14. Labor Day Walk-a Fun
15. Polio eradication.
 
Rotary Direct is an easy way to donate any amount, small or large, on a recurring basis to help fund the many programs that Rotary International provides.

Prayer and Pledge
Sue Whinnery led us in the prayer and pledge.
 
Membership Challenge
There is a Rotary district wide challenge for membership, taking place from April 1 through June 30.
 
 
Brenda Thompson explained there are a number of things our club will be doing to meet the challenge.
 
1. Bringing potential members to lunch.
2. Inducting new members.
3. Hosting one new member recruitment event.
4. Surveying club members to get input.
5. Brenda will be doing a Membership Moment at upcoming meetings.
6. Contacting previous members to about visiting the club again.
7. Inviting community leaders to learn about our club.
 
If you have been thinking about inviting someone to Rotary, now would be a great time.

Rotary Tidbit
Area of Focus: Environment. Rotary supports activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance environmental sustainability, and foster harmony between people and the environment. For example, clubs working together could train and educate communities in conservation and resource management to preserve, protect, and sustainably use natural resources.
