Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive at Olivers, to register visiting Rotarians, and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $16.00).  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
Two for One Week
YES.  Two bulletins again in one week!  This time by the same author.  And this bulletin that you are receiving on Dec 1 is CORRECT!  See you at noon and at 5:00 pm tomorrow.  More two for ones!!!  Rotary is FUN!!!
Madrigals!
The Woodstock High School Madrigals are live and in person this Friday, Dec 2 2022.  Be sure and RSVP to Laura with the correct number of guests.  Olivers is planning on a large crowd AND they still need an accurate count.  This favorite program of Rotary has been COVID canceled the past 2 years.  IT. IS. BACK!  Be there and enjoy.
TAG DAY!!!
Tag Day was back.  A big Rotary thank you to Dave B, Gene W, Joe M and his daughter, Garret A, Steve R, Breanne P. W.. and Jim Potthast for stepping right up and tagging.  Round figures:  $400 in collections plus Jim P got sick the day of tagging and donated $200.00 to fill his role.  $600.00 for a little over 6 hours of combined work.  
Club Updates
We have so much going on as a club. Below is a list (because, let’s be honest, I like lists) along with additional information, registration pages, email addresses, etc. 

Giving Tuesday, November 29: We will be soliciting donations for this extremely important day. Studio D Jewelers has again generously provided a matching donation of up to $3000, so please help us get those funds in!

Thursday, December 1: Rotary + Red Cross Blood / Book Drive. Rotary Club of Woodstock will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross from 12pm to 5pm at McHenry County Fairgrounds. We need donations of both blood and books (that sounds weird). For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code WOODSTOCK ROTARY. Need more granular information? Email Mimi (motroni@sbcglobal.net). 

Thursday, December 1: Woodstock's Ladies Night Out. This has been a fun night for our Rotarians to gather, shop, laugh, libate! No official organizer at this point, but more information and tickets can be found here. 

Friday, December 2: FIRST FRIDAY at 5:00! Luke and Kent are kind enough to host us at their office. They will provide snacks, music, and ambiance; they ask that you please supply your favorite beverage(s) of choice. Spouses, significant others, partners are also welcome! 

Friday, December 2 – Friday, December 23: Santa will need Elves to volunteer at The Hut! Weeknights, volunteers are needed 4:30-7:30 and on weekends, we need volunteers 1:00-5:00. There will of course be a sign-up for volunteers, but for now if you need more details / information, please reach out to one of our three Premier Santas, Chris Cantwell himself (details02@sbcglobal.net). Our other two amazing Santas are Dave Byrnes and Al Schmitt. 

Wednesday, December 7: District Holiday Party at Chandler's Chophouse in Schaumburg. Festivities start at 6 pm. Buy your tickets and read about the event here. 

No specified date, just important information: Need Jeep Raffle tickets BEFORE the holidays? Looking to sell a few during Thanksgiving festivities? Please talk to Tom McGrath. You can send him an email at mcgrathtw@icloud.com to request tickets.
