Also please Note we have a new member application from Bruce Warren who is a retired aerospace engineer. If you have any questions or comments about him being a member, please let someone on the board know.  He volunteers as a school math tutor so he will be a great addition to our scholarship review team. This is the second publication of his proposed membership. 
We look forward to the application from Neha Markanda soon. We have a print out of her web site so we know what  to plan on but still no application yet.

A Note from Russ Carlson:

 

I am pleased to announce a special, members and guests only, CPR/AED training being held on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 11:30 - 1:30 pm in the Medicine Lake Conference Room in the Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, Plymouth, MN 55447.  The Dufner Deli bag lunch will be served as per a regular Rotary meeting (members will pay for their lunches) and guests of Rotarians will be provided a lunch paid for by the Plymouth Heart Safe Project (more on that later).  Members attending are encouraged to invite spouses/partners to the training - prudent since 70% of the out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests happen in the home.  The training room has space for 30 participants.  

 

All those attending will need to register individually in Eventbrite, the registration software we use for our public CPR/AED trainings.  Please do not share the following registration link with anyone outside of our Club membership or invited guests since this is a private meeting set up for our group:    https://heartsafeplymouthmeeting.eventbrite.com/

 

The sandwich, chips and bar bag lunch options that training guests will pick from are listed below:

 

1.  Turkey (cooked fresh daily)

2.  Salami (lettuce, tomato, onion, pepperjack cheese)

3.  Chicken Salad

4.  Egg salad

5.  BLT

 

All guests should notify me via my email (rcarlson20@msn.com) with their name and lunch choice.  Pls. send me an email even if you don't want lunch and tell me that.  

 

The Heart Safe Team is looking forward to this event - I hope many of you will take advantage of this opportunity.  Please arrive on or just before 11:30 am so you can have lunch.  The training will begin at 12:00 sharp and last 75 minutes.  broken heartsmiley

By being a member of Rotary you are a part of an organization that is constantly doing something good.
 

TALKING POINTS:
 
What is Rotary and WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE?
Rotary is a philanthropic organization that has a core group of committed volunteers in nearly every developed city in the world, who work to make their community a better place.
Here are 3 reasons for your friends to care: 
  1. If you have moved here from somewhere else, and you join a local club, you can plan and do projects involving friends locally with those from anywhere you came from.
  2. Or for another example, when your local food shelf needs something, or someone, who can they ask and where do volunteers come from? Rotary Clubs supply money and volunteers for all sorts of our community charities.
  3. Rotary tries to measure everything with its four-way test. 1) Is it the truth? 2) Is it fair to all concerned? 3) Will it build good will and better friendships? 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? If something fails in any of those dimensions, it does not meet Rotary’s high-quality standards. We have been honored and welcomed to join.
 
 
 

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.
