Notes From David...
 
 
Welcome to 2025 and the 2nd half of our Rotary year. I hope you all had wonderful holidays and good times with loved ones. 
 
 
 
Weather
There's some possibility of snow and bad driving conditions. IF we cancel Friday morning's meeting, or if we decide to meet by zoom, I'll send an email out Thursday night. If there is no cancellation email when you get up Friday morning, you can safely assume we're meeting in person. (Irrespective of the foregoing, you need to run to the store NOW and buy as much toilet paper as possible, hahaha.)
 
Tom Riordan Remembered
On the District Conference Cruise this month, there will be a special Remembrance for Rotarians in our District that passed away over the last two years. I provided Tom's information, a picture, noted that he was a founder of our club and deeply beloved by our club, and that we renamed the service award "The Tom Riordan Service Above Self Award."
 
Credit Card Foundation Donations
You may have noticed that we have two places on our website where we can accept credit card donations for the Addison Rotary Foundation. We're doing this through Zeffy, which means we will incur no credit card processing fees which are typically 2%-4% of the charge. So, you can now make your "birthday donation" through the website using a credit card. I dislike writing checks and messing with cash, and I like credit card points. If you're like me this will make your life a bit easier. Also, we can use this for other fundraising.  PLEASE NOTE: this is only for donations to the Addison Rotary Foundation, NOT for club membership fees.
 
Video
I've seen the first pass of the video. It looks good, but I asked for a few edits. I hope to get it back soon.
 
Make it a great day!
--David
