Here is a chance to clean out your closet as part of perhaps a well intended New Year's resolution to de-clutter.  The SMNW Interact Club is in need of your grubby (but not stinky) T-shirts.

 

 

The Interact Club will then shred them in preparation for our in-meeting project on January 31st.  That is the date we will honor their club members and work along side them braiding the shredded shirts into dog chews.  FUN!

Do you have a sack of family photos somewhere at home?  At least you think the sack contains family photos.  You aren't 100% sure because no one wrote names on the back.  That is what Bottle #2 gathering was like.  We went through our club historical information as found on our club website (yes, there is information there).  Much we recognized.  Jerry and Sammie regaled us with funny fill-in-the blank tidbits on several items.  Then there were those "family photo" items that none of us knew anything about.  Therefore, I could use a few club historians willing to go through the information and provide explanatory content.  Another question is how long should we list projects we no longer participate in?  I'd love to hear your thoughts and get your help with updates.

 

 

 

When a member misses a meeting, there are several ways to make up for the absence:

Rotarians can make up for an absence at their club meeting within the same Rotary year.  If a member attempts to make up at another club and that club either did not meet that week, or changed venues, the club member can let their club's secretary know the date and time of the attempted make-up and it will count as a makeup toward a missed meetings.  Make ups also qualify if you attend an eClub meeting.   Send all make-ups to our club secretary, Bill McCollum via email.
