Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive early to ZOOM members, visiting Rotarians, and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $15.00).  You also provide the pre-meal prayer, check attendance, announce guests and visiting Rotarians, manage the marble drawing and provide "Fun & Frolics."  If you are unable to fulfill your greeter obligation, please contact the next person in the greeter rotation to take your place.
 
Stories
Start with Why
Periodically I watch this video to remind and refresh me  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYeCltXpxw - this is an abbreviated version of the talk by Simon Sinek. There is a 20 minute version that goes into much more depth. 
 
When we think about Rotary, our Club and Christmas Clearing House think about the why. If you need a helpful prompt, read CCH Update #1.
 
 
CCH Update #1
Yesterday we got an email through the website from someone making a referral for CCH. He had a family that needed help. This is not unique.
 
But what was special and meaningful was that this person was a recipient in the past and in his words:
 
"You guys do great work and literally saved Christmas for my family a few years ago so thank you, we will be volunteering for delivery this year. Have a great day and happy holidays!"
 
Every year we hear stories like this - people who needed our help at some point in the past. And now are ready to pay it forward (or backwards - however you want to look at it.) When we get into the thick of it, when we are managing the myriad details, when the chair of CCH is browbeating you, remember this story and that you are literally saving someone's Christmas.
CCH Update #2
Our next planning meeting for CCH is tonight at 5:30 via Zoom. As usual, all are welcome to join the meeting.
 
One of the important agenda items will be finalizing the plan for sorting, packing & delivery to be sure we get the job done safely and effectively. 
 
The Zoom information is below:

CCH Update #3
Santa needs his Elves!!
 
Santa begins his visits to all the good boys and girls this Friday. As we have mentioned (once or maybe twice) before we need to provide elfin help to Santa. This is part of our commitment to the City for providing a space for Santa to do his work.
 
This year, being an elf is an inside job - unlike Tag Days. We are not quite halfway there. This is also a chance for you to get some up close (but not closer than 6ft) time with Santa. Bring your lists and show him that you are a good boy or girl.
