: President Elect Dave Alexander still gets to co-chair the Program Committee, and introduced our program.
Don Kalisz introduces to the club the new member he is sponsoring, Jennifer Fellinger.
Rob Taylor introduces the new member he is sponsorsing, Jason Smith.
President Tim made a number of announcements, from a $100 incentive for first timers to attend the RI 6290 District Conference in Muskegon to revisions in our weekly Reflections, which will now be 1 minute long, giving everyone more time to talk at their tables and for all our other busy meeting activites. If you missed the meeting, check out the link to our meeting on our You Tube channel elsewhere in RIM.
Rob Cook had us reflect on the importance of food access and how fortunate we are to have our wonderful weekly lunches. To make his point, he "borrowed" a green pepper from his volunteer work that morning assembling "sack dinners" at Kid's Food Basket.
Pete DeBoer introduces his guest Amanda Westra.
Meredith Smillie shares that the Club has 10 additional "Paul Harris Plus" fellows, meaning they have made additional contributions totaling $1,000 to the Rotary International Foundation.They each received a Paul Harris Fellow pin with either a ruby or sapphire. Meredith said becoming a Paul Harris Fellow "is a milestone not a destination."
