The Board met last week and selected Dave White and Theresa Jones as Trustees to the Community Uplift Foundation. We thank everyone who submitted an application. Several Board members commented that we have so much talent in our club and we are fortunate that we had so much interest in wanting to serve as Trustees.
Doug reported that our checking account is in the Green, we have some CD's in our rainy day fund, and we only have a couple of members who have forgotten to pay their dues.
We inducted 3 new members this last week so our club is growing.
Starting July 1, we are operating under our new Dues plan. $150 per quarter and $15 per meal.
We have a club social coming up at the end of the month, so we hope to see you there.
We still need volunteers for the Resource Rally on July 30th. See elsewhere in the newsletter for details.
See you Wednesday, and thank you for everything you do for our Club.

Many families in Venezuela are facing unimaginable challenges following the recent earthquake. Homes have been damaged, communities disrupted, and thousands of people are in need of immediate assistance.
One of the greatest strengths of Rotary is that we have trusted partners and fellow Rotarians already on the ground. When you give through Rotary, you can be confident your donation will be directed where it is needed most, helping provide relief while ensuring funds are used responsibly and do not fall into the wrong hands.
If you are able, I encourage you to consider making a contribution to support these relief efforts. No gift is too small—together, our collective generosity can make a meaningful difference for families working to rebuild their lives. https://raise.rotary.org/Gladys-MaldonadoRodrguez/fundraiser540
Thank you for always living our motto of Service Above Self. Time and again, our district has demonstrated that when people need help, Rotarians answer the call.
Together, we can create a lasting impact—even from thousands of miles away.
Yours in Rotary,
Michelle Sink District Governor Rotary District 5710
