Highlights from October Meetings

Wow! Where does the time go? October was a busy month and the 1st week of November is even crazier - Rotarily speaking.

Our October 9th meeting was an experiment. We conducted our traditional "Fireside Chat" as a meeting program. Normally, Fireside Chats are held in the evening, usually twice each year, and serve to introduce new members and their spouses to the ABC's of Rotary. We started the program right at 12:15 and finished just on time!! Highlights included a passionate reflection on the PolioPlus program by Ken Kreider and Dave Schmidt on the flipboard showing where our money goes. According to Dan - I AM THE BUSDRIVER!

October 16th - Roger found the joker for around $350 in the 50/50 pot. Ed Kaminski from the Housing Development Corporation spoke about affordable housing.

October 23rd - Our October Students of the Month, Stephanie and James, gave their talks. We welcomed our newest member, Cyndi Stoltzfus into membership. Ken Kreider who taught Cyndi at Etown College will once again be her mentor. Our program was Bea (or Bia) who provided us with a tour of Brazil and insights into her home country.

Now, in the next 8 days we have our annual District Governor official visit, our new Interact Club Charter Ceremony, our November board meeting, the Foundation Dinner, and Rotary Day at the UN for some while others of us leave for a 10 day Rotary Mission in Ecuador. We be Rotary Rockin!
