Our meeting was called to order by President Jim Conard.  President Jim took a moment to look back at last week’s program acknowledging RYLA and the young guests who attended.  President Jim read a letter from an attendee of the Youth Leadership program expressing what the experience meant to her and thanking the Rotary for sponsoring her.  President Jim also noted there were no new members to announce and reminded everyone that it is common to lose around 10% of membership annually. The goal this year is to work towards getting 30 new members to keep our Club stable at 300 total members.

He encouraged everyone to think about any friends, family, co-workers or associates that might be a good Rotarian and bring them to our meeting as a guest.

 

Announcements:  Aaron Schaefer member of the Youth Leadership Committee thanked everyone who already contributed towards the next class of RYLA and announced there was information and a pledge card on the tables for those who might still be considering becoming a youth sponsor.
