Minutes from Sept. meeting were approved after being amended by Marty. 

 

 

PR team has sent out a press release highlighting all the work the club has done since May.  Food Drive, YMCA Backpacks; Little Libraries; Butterfly Release.  

 

95th Anniversary organized by PR committee would like to donate 95 books to schools or local centers.  Karen has started a book donation program for the Family Place.  Adding to this collection could be an option.  The club members should discuss.

The committee will also raise funds for a memorial bench in honor of Eugene Guy.  Possibly too many benches in town and perhaps a Rotary Clock could be considered.

 

DEI- We have many pieces of the program that we, as a club already adhere to.  The board feels there needs to be much more discussion with the club.

 

Membership committee needs to get a clear picture of the current and honorary members to report back to the club.

 

Nov. 1st is our LAST meeting at CPCC.  Buddy and Karen are looking into Hartness House.  Meetings would have to change to Mondays if this is an option.  Outside catering would have to be considered as well until a chef is found.
