Last week Gitzy Loder and Michelle Schrage were our Greeters. Andy Goranson gave our invocation. We had several announcements and a new member introduction.   Membership Chair Rich Rowland kicked off our Great Suburban Duck Race contest in honor of our 50th anniversary year.   

 

Check out your badge when you are at Rotary- each team is divided into ducklings of one color. The head ducks of each team are:

Pink-Rose Mary Hefley

Green- Gary Stoneburg

Red - Holly Hollenbeck

Blue- Bob Perrin

Yellow- John Hoich

Black- Marlene Sullivan

Purple- Ashley Baker

 

Each team of "ducks" will race to bring in new members this year with an eye on improving our diversity and percentage of female members. We are also targeting new retirees and younger members.  Help grow Suburban Rotary and help your team to win bragging rights!

 

 

 

To sign up to help at this event (assist medical students, hand out water/snacks, check in, etc. ) go to the website suburbanrotary.org and click on the calendar and on the date of the event and log in to sign up.  The great project is being paid for by a District Grant and funds from our local Suburban Rotary Foundation.

 

 

 

You have an opportunity that only comes twice a century!

 

Suburban Rotary is celebrating our 50th Anniversary this year. We were chartered on December 4, 1967.   In honor of this occasion, we have several events planned including:

 

A family event at the zoo (save the date, Sunday September 24th)

A evening event for members and guests

A commemorative hardback book featuring 50 years of Rotary history

 

In order to make all of these things affordable to club members and their families, we are looking for Anniversary Sponsors.   We will recognize you in a variety of ways including t-shirts for all members and signs at events and at meetings this year.

 

We have one $1000 Presenting sponsorship available.

Four Gold $500 sponsorships (2 left)

Eight Silver $250 sponsorships (4 left)

Bronze sponsorships $100 each

 

Act quick to show your support for the "Best Club in the Cosmos" in our big year!  (Sponsors can also be from outside the club if you know a person or business would would like to support us). Please contact Rose Mary Hefley or Jennifer to sign up or for more information. 

 

Effective this week, August 3rd, our meeting cost will go to $8 and the meeting with a meal will be $16.  Prepaid tickets can be used with an extra dollar.
