Notes From David...
I will be out of town attending my Aunt’s memorial this Friday, but Gene Leposki will cover for me and probably do a much better job. I’m disappointed to miss Mike Pugh’s presentation. Mike’s commitment to the Rotary Youth Programs is impressive, and on top of that he’s taken on our Community Service. We appreciate you, Mike!
We have our financials from the first quarter of this Rotary year. (Thank you Randy Lasley and Brian Williamson!) Our budget projected a loss for the first quarter. In fact, we had a positive net income of $4,602. While that feels good, it reflects that we didn’t spend funds on some projects (like Marketing and PR) that we intended to. Nevertheless, it was a good quarter, and we accomplished a lot. In the interest of full transparency, our financials are in the documents section of Clubrunner available to any Addison Rotary club member.
Big THANK YOU to Laurie Sutor for taking on the Bulletin!
I had an amazing meeting with the Principal of Anne Frank Elementary School, Beverly Mullins Ford, to discuss our donation of Chromebooks and other potential projects. While I was there she showed me the Rotary Multicultural Center that our club funded. This local elementary school has 1100 students who speak 35 languages and represent 65 countries. There is a lot of opportunity for us to help!
I redesigned the Foundation page on our website to make it about the Addison Rotary Foundation instead of the Rotary International Foundation. In the future I would like us to be able to accept donations from that page. Below is the new Foundation page banner. I wanted it to reflect some of the diverse projects the Addison Rotary Foundation has funded. Thank you to Janet Meyer for her review and edits.
Make it a great day!
