Greeter Protocol
 
When you are assigned the duty of being our greeter, you should remember the following:

1. You should be at the meeting by 11:45 AM in order to greet everyone as they come to the meeting.

2. You should bring a "Greeter's Gift" for the raffle. The gift should be approximately $20.00 in value.

3. You will be leading the giving the inspiration of the day, leading the salute to the flag, and introducing the visiting Rotarians. It is a good idea to watch the visiting Rotarians sign in, so that you can ask them about any complicated names or classifications.

4. If you cannot attend, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
 
 
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
MADE SIMPLE
 
We all think we choose what path we take in life, who we socialize and mix with, what views we hold. But those decisions are actually shaped by networks of people - David Brooks. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
 
FIRST: The Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. Rotarians have the opportunity to create relationships with many business, professional, and community leaders.
 
SECOND - High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Being a Rotarian authenticates the person and their business or profession.
 
THIRD - The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life. Rotarians nurture this personal characteristic; the cornerstone of building and sustaining relationships.
 
FOURTH - The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Rotarians become better world citizens and often build lasting international relationships.
 
ROTARIANS INFLUENCED BY THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAVE MADE THEIR FAMILIES, BUSINESSES, COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD BETTER. WHAT THEY DID IS A BY-PRODUCT OF WHO THEY ARE AND THE IMPACT THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAD ON THEM PERSONALLY.

Greeter: Judy Lewis led the “Pledge of Allegiance” and quoted the Persian poet, Rumi, which I will paraphrase as: “Try not to resist change. Let Life live through you, and don’t worry that your life appears to be turned upside down as it may be better that way”.

District Governor Visit: October 10.
 
Service Star Awards; Marie Galbo, Glen Weber and Jeff Disch were honored.
 
Main Event: Kathy Gailey offered an updated briefing on the Uganda Wheelchair Project scheduled of July, 2021.  She explained the single shipping container holds 280 wheelchairs and costs $42,000. The chairs will be shipped from China to the port of Mombasa, Kenya. The sponsoring local Rotary club, Kampala Nsambeya, will arrange to have the container delivered to the Karamuja region of North Eastern Uganda where the chairs will be distributed.
 
 
Our club and other participating local clubs will raise $7000 and the R. I. will grant an additional $14,000, equaling one half of the total cost. The remaining $21,000 will come from a matching grant from a private donor.
 
Rotarians who may wish to attend the distribution should let Kathy know as preliminary plans are being made. There will likely be a pre and post-trip to enable Rotarians to visit some of the famous wildlife in Uganda, notably the chimpanzees and gorillas as well as sights such as Murchison Falls, Lake Victoria and the charming capital, Kampala.  The actual cost of the trip is not yet known, but Kathy says she will try to keep it under $6000 per person.
 
Raffle:  Judy Fiedler won the Greeter’s Gift and Norbert won a chance at the Progressive.
