June 30, 2017

This Week's Program:

We DO NOT have a meeting this Friday, June 30, as it is the fifth Friday of the month. The next meeting will by Friday, July 7, at 7:30. Please note that moving forward our location will be back at the Crowne Plaza, where we met up until February.

This Past Week, June 23, 2017:

This past week, representatives from the North Minneapolis Rotary Club (of which our own Ann Dilliard was a founding member) came to discuss their initiative to bring peace and conflict resolution to North Minneapolis specifically and all of us generally.

Announcements:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Moving forward, our weekly breakfasts at 7:30 on Friday will be at the Crowne Plaza, rather than Lucky's 13. We regularly received feedback on the underwhelming quality of the breakfasts at Lucky's 13. We were able to negotiate a favorable rate with Crowne Plaza and we wanted to finalize the move before the end of the Rotary fiscal year (June 30).

Heart Safe Plymouth:

We have trained 4,003 People and counting!

Russ, Norm, Don and team continue to train and impact the local community.

Membership Drive:

Please consider inviting guests to visit our weekly breakfast meeting. A primary goal of moving to breakfast meetings is to make the meeting time more convenient for Plymouth professionals who commute out of the community for work. Now that we have moved to breakfast, please spread the word.

Foundation Giving:

Please give to Rotary International and/or Polio Plus!

Our goal this year is $365 per member, which equals one dollar a day to potentially and positively change the life of another. Any new member giving over $500 will be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International. '

General Information:

Club Website: Please take the time to visit the club website. We have now been using the Club Runner website format for a number of months. Jason Cardwell, our President Elect, has updated the website to reflect this week's and next week's speakers. It is important for everyone to spend some time on the site and let Bala Guntapali and me know what information is missing and what information should be updated. www.RotaryPlymouth.org
