WEEK IN REVIEW - July 01, 2021 (ZOOM #63, Hybrid #12)
Part 1 - NEW ROTARY YEAR
President Alice's Vision for 2021-22

A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the community we serve. Mother Teresa said, “The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.” SO Let’s spin the wheel of fortune and expand our circle.
The vision of President Elect Nominee, Michelle Shermer, President Elect, Jill Leonard and me is to increase the diameter of our circle to reflect the community we serve. We can do this with the following leadership:
Peace Team, led by Michelle Shermer,
Public Image Team, led by Jill Leonard,
Membership Team, led by Marcia Henkle,
Community Outreach Team, led by Joe St. Jean
Rotary Park Team, led by Phil Rasmussen, Rich Peters and Tom McNair.
The Youth Team, led by Laurie Flarity-White,
The Auction Team, ledby Co-Chairs Mike Kintner and Pete VanWell.
The Program Team, led by Loren Stach.

The Circle of life, a video sung by Elton John was played; these lyrics were read by Alice.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
But all are agreed as they join the stamped
You should never take more than you give
In the circle of life,
It’s the wheel of fortune,
it’s the leap of faith,
It’s the band of hope,
Till we find our place,
On the path unwinding,
In the circle, the circle of life
******************************
An updated classification talk by Carmen Bossenbrock, had to be rescheduled due to technical problems.
The Hybrid/ZOOM meeting was opened and led by new president Alice Meyer, with Rachel Evey as primary ZOOM host. Alice's husband of 15 years (Tim) sang the National Anthem from the cherry orchard.
