Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive at Woodstock Country Club, to register visiting Rotarians, and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $20.00).  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
Madame Governor's Installation
The countdown is underway to Marlene's installation as District Governor - and Joe McDonough's as Club President.  Sixty-five days until June 27. The event starts at 5:30 and is going to be in the Old Courthouse Center.
 
The official event registration has been created and as members and spouses of the Rotary Club of Woodstock, you get limited early access (basically until I get around to putting it on the District website and sending out the official invitation.)
 
Here is your chance to get in on the ground floor. All tickets are the same price - $75 and includes cocktail hour entertainment, grazing table and cash bar, dinner and the ever popular ice cream bar for dessert. Everyone has to pay the full price to attend - no deferred payments, no checks. (Friday members - you were not charged for this Friday's meal in your quarterly billing to keep everything clean.)  
 
Be sure to select your entree - pork loin, chicken marsala or the stuffed portabello mushroom (which is the gluten free, vegetarian option) when you order.
 
 
Get signed up and show your support for our inaugural District Governor and our 57th Club President. 
Jeep Raffle
 
 
We have tickets to be sell!!   
 
Below is a message from our fearless Chair - Tom McGrath -
 

There remain 167 tickets to be sold with 4 ½ weeks to go.  The Jeep will be on the Square every Saturday going forward and I will post SignUpGenius links for each week going forward.  Farmer’s Market is May 3rd, which will help with foot traffic.

There are four $500 Cash Prizes remaining plus the Grand Prize of either the Jeep or $40,000.  The drawing will be at Offsides Sports Bar and Grill, located at 680 S Eastwood Dr (Route 47) at 6:00 PM on May 23rd.

I will publish a list of all that have purchased so Rotarians can see who is not on the list to sell tickets to.

 

Best,

Tom

 
Don't focus on how many are left - focusing on selling them. Every ticket sold is $100 back into our community.
 
But, if you want to know what that 167 tickets means - without out boring you with accounting details - the budgeted net amount for the car proceeds is $41,600. With 167 tickets left, we are currently sitting at net proceeds of $24,900. In the past few weeks, we committed to $7,500 of the raffle proceeds to the Service Above Self and Vocational scholarships. That is next year's money. So right now we have $17,400 left to do $27,000 worth of community work -  Fueling Futures ($10,000,) our literacy work ($1,000,) our International projects ($6,000,) Polio Plus ($4,000,) Operation Warm ($2,600,) RYLA ($4,500.) And that does not include anything that pops up as a need.
 
I am sure that no Rotarian is passionate about every project we do. But every Rotarian (this means you) is passionate about at least one project we do. Whatever your passion is, whatever project makes your heart sing - it is funded through these sales. 
 
We have four weeks left - let's get those tickets sold and fund our passions and serve our community.

Service Above Self

As we heard a couple weeks ago, the fabulous Service Above Self scholarship committee winnowed down 35 applications to select Abigail Pagnotta as our winner. Abigail is a senior at Woodstock High School, where she ranks 8th out of 247 students with a perfect 4.0 GPA. This fall, she will attend the University of Nebraska–Lincoln this fall to pursue a degree in Forensic Biology, with plans to minor in biochemistry or microbiology.

Abigail is deeply involved in school activities, including girls basketball, soccer, choir, National Honor Society, and the Blue Streaks Service Club. She’s a dedicated community volunteer, contributing over 150 hours at Young at Heart senior pet rescue and participating in events like mobile food pantries, library service days, and Christmas Clearing House. She also works part-time at Bull Valley Golf Club, balancing banquet and outdoor service roles with academic and volunteer commitments. She will be joining our lunch meeting on May 30th to tell us more about her plans after graduation.
