- We enjoyed a visit and presentation from District Governor Darcy Long (and partner Doug). She brought greetings from RI President Barry Rassin. She said that she is first a Rotarian and second our District Governor. Her priorities for the District are the Environment, Youth, Polio and Fellowship. She encourages us to think of our club as Rotary (not the District, not Rotary International). Together we connect...

Also please note that we do not have a speaker for the meeting this week. (October 18) After breakfast, Sergeant at Arms and announcements, we will be doing Foundations draw followed by the brief board meeting.

Committee updates
From Foundation chair Debbie (Repeat draw part)
Foundation fundraiser (FFR) - Wine Survivor! Here is how it works:
4. Once the draws begin, names will be pulled each day for elimination from the pool. If you have an immunity, your name will go back in.
5. This will continue until there are just 3 people left, who will win:
a. 1st place – 32 bottles of wine
b. 2nd place – 16 bottles of wine
c. 3rd place – 11 bottles of wine
6. If you are first to be eliminated, you will win the first bottle of wine (it’s a pity thing!).
