Plymouth Community Center our meeting location is located at 14800 34th Ave N, Plymouth, MN 55447.

We are having our board meeting before the meeting today. At our meeting we will be having a facilities tour of the Plymouth Community Center. Because of the shedule and the fact that we will be moving around the building during the meeting, there will not be lunches served today.

Please remember that it is each club member's duty to bring a speaker or two each year. We are now dividing into quarterly teams for this purpose. More information will be distributed soon. We also will be requiring a volunteer for Club Secretary to manage the bulletins and the speakers when our new administration begins.

PLEASE NOTE:

Luce Line Brewing is hosting its Summerfest on June 3, 2023. They need 4 volunteers to help with parking from 3:30 to 7:30 on June 3. Volunteers get a free meal, complimentary drinks and a shirt. The event is a benefit for Folds of Honor, a Veterans' support group that aids families of the fallen. To sign up to volunteer contact former Rotarian Tim Nauman by e-mail: Tim@lucelinebrewing.com

A Note from Don Webber about our former member Rich Manthe whose wife died in February, included the following attachment:

Paula A. Manthe, RPH retired

Manthe, Paula A., RPH retired Age 78 of Plymouth, passed away suddenly on February 20, 2023. Survived by husband of 55 years Richard M. Manthe; son Clayton Manthe and daughter Alicia Manthe (Scott Forsberg); grandchildren Tia, Reece and Vyla; brother Edmund Madison, Jr. Paula had a zest for life with her family and through service as a pharmacist, traveled to more than 50 countries, and chaperoned a Denver World Youth day celebration with the Pope. Mass of Christian Burial 11 AM Friday, March 3 at The Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, 155 County Rd. 24, Medina. Visitation at church one hour prior to Mass. Memorials preferred to the Animal Humane Society, Golden Valley or to Interfaith Outreach.

Since we all just found out about this maybe we should still reach out to Rich Manthe to express our condolences.

Do you, or someone you know, ever find yourself thinking: "Gee I wish I could give a scholarship to deserving High School students, but I want to make the gift out of funds or in such a way that I need a 501 (c) 3 type foundation to do it and sustain it?"

If that is you, please think of the Rotary Club of Plymouth MN in that moment!

This is a great way to assure high quality students get the education to make the world a better place into the future. You can fund it once or you could set up an annuity in your estate plan to fund it for an extended period of time, even indefinitely, if that is what you plan to give. Talk to one of our attorneys and one of our investment advisors, or your own professionals, if you need more information. You will not regret it and the world will be better for it.

We now have invitation cards for our members to invite friends and colleagues to come and hear our great speakers. Please grab a couple, fill them out and give them to your friends, relatives and colleagues. This will be a lot less work, a lot more fun and a lot better for Plymouth if we have a lot more members. We must all do our part now in recruiting.

WHAT IS ROTARY ABOUT?

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

First The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

Second High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

Third The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;

Fourth The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

ROTARIAN CODE Of CONDUCT

The following code of conduct has been adopted for the use of Rotarians:

As a Rotarian,

1. I will act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life.

2. Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect.

3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to: mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people's quality of life in my community and in the world.

4. Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians.

5. Help maintain a harassment-free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities, report any suspected harassment, and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

Of the things we think, say, or do:

1. Is it the truth?

2. Is it fair to all concerned?

3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

There is a Rotary Club in nearly every city in the world. We are united for philanthropy. Ask someone to join us.
