Last week's meeting

• Club members distributed the special club financial support recently raised by the club.  A number of the awards supported district match opportunities.  Special thanks to the fundraising committee including Jim Pockross, Jim Waite and Jim Bowman who led the effort and Corinne McClintic and George Pearce for distributing the funds.   
• Due to recent unwelcome ZOOM bombers on club meetings, we are now using the ZOOM waiting room feature.  For each meeting you will now be asked to wait for the host to accept you into the meeting.  Please be patient and be sure to ask if you have any questions.
• Beth DeWall and Jack Close remind us that we can pay our Rotary dues via links on our webpage.  Super easy!
