Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive at Woodstock Country Club early to greet members, visiting Rotarians, and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $14.00).  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
Friday Fun!
Friday Fun!
 
This past Friday was a day of Rotary Fun. We kicked off the day with a field trip to the Moose for lunch. Laura lead a team building activity for our program focused on our classifications. Our table had a great conversation on our careers. We learned from Larry that realtors work much harder and make much less than what we thought. (We also learned that Larry only takes jobs that are on Cass St. Which you would thinking would be limiting, but he has made a success of that.) We also learned that Steve may be a little jaded with our State's political process at the moment.
 
I'm confident that it was equally eye opening for Kent & Luke to learn about each other's careers. 
 
It was a fun way for us to continue to learn about our fellow Rotarians. 
 
Later that evening was First Friday at Scorched Earth. Rotarians enjoyed beer, pierogis and fellowship with Rotarians and their friends and families.
 
As a club we do a lot in and for the community - but what makes this club great is the fellowship. Thank you to Laura for organizing a great Friday, thank you to all who came and those who didn't make it this month. You were missed.
Host Family
Host Family Needed!
 
As he has done for the past weeks, Chris reminded the Club on Friday that we need the third and final host family for Thomas. It is down to the wire. If you or someone you know is able to step up please contact Chris ASAP.
Inductions
This Friday we are inducting four of our newest members of the Club -
 
Gene
Juanita
Jim
Shawna
 
all of these new Rotarians have stepped up to serve the club and community.
 
Be sure to be there to learn more about our newest members.
Beach Party 2019
Beach Party! Beach Party! Beach Party!
 
It is only 31 days away!  
 
We learned Friday that only 8 tickets had been sold. That's about 2% of our goal! Get your tickets sold and the info in to Laurie!
 
And for the hundreds of people that will come because we sold those tickets we need to have great ways for them to give their money:
 
  • Have you thought of a live auction item?
    • Major League sports ticket donations
    • Weekend away in a major US city - donate air miles, hotel gift card, limo, restaurant gift cards
    • Do you know of someone who has timeshare to share?  A summer/winter home to share?  Ask for it.
    • Weekend to NAPA Valley.  Sonoma County.  San Francisco.  There is wine AND beer out there.
    • NY NY weekend.
    • Dinner for 6 in your home.  Dinner for 6 at a great local restaurant.
    • Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan.
    • Think of something that is not readily available, unique and an experience to remember.
  • How many basket items have you solicited?  We are going to bring back the silent auction for the top 10 baskets items.  Get yours on that list!
  • Remember it takes all of us to have a successful event.  ALL. OF. US.  Every year someone is unable to attend, that is life and it is OK.  Yet we still have the prep work to do:  Live auction items, silent auction items, invite guests, etc.  Try and keep Friday of the event weekend open for decorating duty.
 
The work of our club - the grants to the community and to international projects, our backpack program at Woodstock High School, Operation Warmth, RYLA, Peace Essays - just to list a few things is funded through this event. The better we do the more we can do.
