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.
Last weeks Zoom meeting produced some break out room discussions. I chaired the Santa House room and we decided when the weather warms up we need to pay a visit to the North Pole (South side water treatment plant) and survey the hut. I am looking for volunteers to serve on the committee with me to decide what action to take as to changes in the Santa Hut. Another committee discussed how to honor our deceased members with some sort of tribute, be it a physical item such as a park bench with attached plaques or a scholarship or grant of some kind. Please be thinking about options.
Denise in her presentation (nice job) mentioned the Woodstock England club that some of our members visited many years ago. The club eventually folded, but has recently come to life again. We discussed the possibility of a Zoom meeting with the Woodstock England Club. It would take some arranging due to the time differences, but certainly doable. The book hand out at the food distribution event reportedly went well thanks to Jean's organization.
Country Boy Ramblings: The Robins came back this week so I guess it's official, Spring is here. Unfortunately they were accompanied by the cow birds and the starlings. It's still early, but a good time to pick up the yard. Crocus are blooming and the daffodils and tulips are up. Good Friday is potato planting time so get the garden ready. Several years ago I reclaimed the woods on the old farm I grew up on, cleaning out the Buckthorn, Honeysuckle, and Multiflora rose. Now it's a great Spring walk to see the wild flowers that have reappeared after all these past years. Good time to walk. Anytime is a good time to walk, but you can't do it from the easy chair in your living room.
A big thank you to Dave Byrnes & Pete Michling for manning the 1st shift at Shamrocked on Saturday. They sold three on the spot! Tom and Jill Nierman took the second shift and also sold three! Tom and Debi McGrath sold two, during the third shift! Yep, "pickle boat" for the McGraths.
All three shifts handed out a ton of flyers, and sales from that effort are why we have sold another 12 over the last two days.
Generally, the sales from flyers continue over the course of two weeks, which is why we need your help as we continue to market the Jeep Raffle. There are five slots still open for St. Paddy's day at Niko's. Thank you to Laurie Lewandowski for signing up for the 1st shift from 4:00 - 6:00. We still need two more Rotarians to help Laurie. We also need three, from 6:00 - 8:00.
Believe it or not, it's actually kinda fun! The most important part is handing the folks a flyer. If you're nervous, we'll train you. You simply ask people, "Would you like to win a Jeep?" That usually gets their attention. Then you tell them the odds of winning something are 9 out of 1,000 and the $500 winners get thrown back into the drum. Not everybody has $100 bills on them like Ron Jarvis, but that's when you hand them the flyer so they can buy on-line later.
Our event at the Dorr Township Highway building has been postponed until April. Ample time is needed to recruit the club volunteers to assist with the various needs. Chairperson Chris Cantwell, will be reaching out to each and everyone to help with this worthwhile community event. These events are generally very well attended so lots of help will be needed.
Stay tuned for the details and opportunity to serve!
