Announcements:
Niel:
Please set your phones to silent mode.
If paying with a credit card, Q's charges an automatic 3.5% fee to offset the charge from credit company, and adds an 18% gratuity
to the bill.
A reminder that all of the meetings in August will be at this venue.
Since we will be paying for lunches at Q's, there will not be a charge on your Rotary bill.
If the change becomes a long-term one, we'll be making new arrangements regarding our Rotary materials (badges, gavel, bell and flags) as well as how to handle hybrid meetings.
Save December 2nd for a holiday party. Details not yet worked out.
Jack Isbell:
Still waiting for further donations for his matching gift to benefit the asylum seekers shelters in Juarez, overseen by Doug Winter.
Mark:
Blues for Polio November 5, 2022. Looking for a ticket outlet--Niel and Jack H. offered their places of business.
Steve:
No Toastmasters meeting this week (8/10/22) but back on zoom next Wednesday. Anyone who wants to join in, contact me.
Niel: Spent the early morning hours wrestling 1000 pound steers!
Program:
Jack Brennan, Race Director, Tour of the Gila, was introduced by Steve C. Jack presented a very interesting program about his life, how the race got started (with a big help from Mark Richards).
This year celebrated 35 years and the event has grown into a national and international race.
