As of this week, meal prices at German American will go to $20. They are allowing us to trial a "meeting only" fee which will be $10 per person through the end of June. Zoom fees will also remain $10. If you have been waiting to rejoin us in person, we hope that this will encourage you to do so. We know inflation is hitting everyone and GAS is raising prices due to rising food/labor costs. We are fortunate that they do not charge us a room fee, so consider that part of your fee goes to that. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Beginning on July 1, Yearlings meetings will no longer be held monthly. Instead new Blue Badge requirements were passed by the Board in April. Monthly orientation meetings will be offered after the 1st meeting of each month. Quarterly social meetings will be held and service cohorts will be organized to plan a project with a mentor.
We are in need of dedicated Rotarians who are willing to help with these various activities. If you have a heart for Rotary and want to help new members become engaged, please contact Mitch McCartney or Jennifer to let them know you are willing to serve on this committee for the 22-23 Rotary year.
