Meeting re-cap 1/21
Last week Edna Brooks-Pittman and Monique Devillier served as our greeters.  Joe Mackevicus gave our invocation.     Secretary Kevin Welsh and Past-President Gary Stoneburg gave each other fines and a lot of guff. We had a New Jersey Rotarian who exchanged flags with President Curt Peters.  Roxy Orr announced the Slate of Officers. Howard Epstein moved to accept the Slate.  Yolanda Hoffman seconded. Motion passed.  The Committee Chairs each reported on their activities for the first half of the year and their plans for the second of the half of the year.    The RISK bag was at $183 and Sarah Kalhorn-Wisecup won a free lunch.

DG Training
Congrats to Rich and Tracy Rowland who are in San Diego for the 2nd year training all of the incoming District Governors.  There are 40 trainers from around the world training all 535 District Governors-Elect from around the world.   It's awesome to have them representing the "Best Rotary Club in the Universe" on the intl. stage.

Sign Up for Meal Packaging and the Souper Bowl Food Drive
On February 5/6 we will be conducting our annual Souper Bowl Food Drive collecting funds at HyVee at 90th and Center. This year the funds will be added to our Outreach project (see below) to provide meals for local food pantries.   We need Rotarians to take 1.5 hr shifts on Friday, February 5th-4-7 and then Saturday, February 6th 10-4.  Please sign up on the website.
 
On February 20th,  Rotarians from Suburban, West, and Southwest Rotary Night Club will be packaging 30-40K meals for local food pantries using a matching grant from District 5650. Please go on our website to sign up for a shift.   We strongly encourage you to bring friends and family to this event. Your church group, your Scout troop, your kids' friends.  We will need 80 people from 8-9 and 80 people from 930-1030 to package all of these meals.  People of all ages are welcome.  When signing up kids, please note their ages (kids under 12 will work with their parents). Also, if anyone needs to sit instead of stand, please note that in the comments as well. We will accommodate volunteers of all ages/abilities.
 
The meals will be picked up at the end of 2nd shift by local food pantries.   We can also use 8-10 volunteers on Friday, February 19th to help set up this event. Please let Jennifer know if you'd like to help with that.
 
A big thank you to Walt Horner/Heavy Duty for volunteering his facility for this event!
