In August the Board Recommended and the Club ratified three significant actions. They are:

1) In October we will reduce the number of meetings to three per month and they will be the first three weeks.

2) We will make attendance by Zoom available for members to also attend our meetings remotely as the rest meet in person. The equipment purchase cost is now anticipated to be about $300.00.

3) In order to balance our annual budget, all Rotarians in the Club will either work a day with the Lyons at the Minnesota State Fair or they will make an additional contribution to the operating budget of $50.00 in August 2023.

It was also announced that the DISTRICT DIRECTOR Jewlie Grape will be at the club meeting on October 9, 2023.

Our Speakers Committees for Third and Fourth Quarters are:

Quarter 3: Ben, John S, Steve Springer, Dave D, Jenni Ebert, Dwain, Erik Fadden, Tony Farah
Quarter 4: Florin, Virginia, Peter, Mike Bauer, Steve B, Jim Bird, Jason, Russ, Meena, Jim Crenna, Alex Tittle

Each Quarterly Committee should elect a chair and find speakers for their quarter.

Please also remember that Rotary Quarters are FISCAL quarters so the first quarter begins in July, the second in October the Third begins in January and the fourth in April. I am sure someone in the RI org chart wants it to be more confusing but reasonable minds may differ.
