Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive early to greet 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
A first
(Yes - the Bulletin writer knows the photo is sideways.) 
 
Last Friday was a historical moment for our Club - our first ever virtual meeting. It was a great first.
 
Like a regular meeting - some of us showed up a little (or a lot) late. Some of us ducked out early. A couple people complained about their lunch. Just another Friday in Rotary.
 
There were some differences - There was no greeter and no marble drawing for me to lose; Luke and Kent showed up separately; we didn't sing (although what we do may not be called singing) 
 
The Bulletin writer obviously doesn't understand how this works and went to the Country Club for the meeting. 
 
As we head into another month of shelter in place orders, this is a great way to get together and keep the fellowship going.
Marlene's Corner
The board held a special meeting Zoom and made a few decisions: 
 
First of all, we have decided to cancel our fundraiser for 2020. Many nonprofits are in the same position as we are, unable to hold their regular spring fundraising event. Unlike many others, we as a Rotary Club do not need to worry about making payroll or rent or any other fixed costs. We will step aside this year and allow those organizations that are in more critical need raise money this year. 
 
We voted to donate $1,000 to from our Club to Project Front Line: McHenry County, a grassroots organization to help support front line workers in the COVID-19 fight.
 
We will continue our weekly Zoom meetings on Fridays at noon, but there will be no attendance taken.  We encourage all to participate if you are able.
 
Finally, the Moose will be sponsoring a blood drive on Sunday, April 5th from 8 to 11 am.  Please know that all appropriate social distancing requirements will be maintained for the drive.

Woodstock Food Pantry
The Woodstock Food Pantry is need of volunteers!
 
Chris and Steve volunteered last week but the need is increasing and they are looking for more help on each shift. 
 
They are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The shifts are from 9am-12pm and from 12pm-3pm. 
 
To sign up call Karen Myers at 815-338-2237.  She asked that Rotarians call her directly because she has the calendar in front of her.

Also please let Mimi know when you are scheduled.
 
 
Riko
I asked the Board for news to pass along in this week's Bulletin. Chris sent this note along about Riko.
 
Riko has returned to Japan... she is so very sorry that she was unable to say a proper goodbye and thank each and everyone of you for her support and this gift of opportunity to be an Exchange Student to Woodstock, IL. She was ordered home by her Rotary District Governor, she didn’t want to go, there was so much yet to do... but the impact of this Global Virus changed everything. Limiting travel and interactions locally and school closure. She didn’t want to be a burden. 
 
Despite social distancing protocols and the risks, my last act was to give Riko a hug, she was so very sad, hard to see on a young woman that had an ever present smile. She will forever be part of our circle. 
 
Thank you Chris for all your work to help us host Riko!
 
 
(The author of the Bulletin gave up - just turn your head to see the photo.)
Tom Rogers
I checked on Tom last Friday. He was on Day 8 post chemotherapy. He said it was not too bad, but he was really tired.
 
As we all adapt to shelter in place and find ways to continue to work and serve you can see Tom in person serving his congregation. He is streaming his Sunday services live on Facebook. Admittedly attendance seemed a little low at last Sunday's service even though he was talking about the Gospel of John. 
 
 
And I know he would appreciate a quick message. He still considers Woodstock and our club as part of his family.
