SURVEY RESULTS: Thank you for responding to the email survey regarding meeting in person. Response to meeting monthly received the most votes. With that, the board approved to hold in-person meetings on Thursday, May 13th and Thursday, June 10th. I am confirming with Crowne Plaza that we can reserve the room and what options are available for lunch. We would offer a hybrid meeting on those dates so that members not able to attend can join virtually. CDC and Minnesota state COVID guidelines will be followed.

From Rotary International Co-Chairs:
Our Club YTD giving is $5,235.00 which equals $133/Member, considering this is coming from 13 Members, the numbers are pretty impressive.
Now the hard part, we are running behind the District average of $141/Member – we need to catch-up – according to RI we have 24 Members who have not made their contribution this year.
Please consider going to MY.ROTARY.ORGand making your annual contribution to some of the great projects Rotary International is supporting on our behalf.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and contributions – idea - maybe use some of that extra CARES money to catch us up on our Club goals.
Thanks again for your commitment to the Plymouth Chapter of the RI Foundation.
