January 16, 2008

It was great to see everyone again in the new year as Rotary resumed its weekly meetings on January 9 following a holiday hiatus.  During this first meeting of 2008, it was announced that the December Lottery tickets sold by members of our club earned $872.33 for the Deposit Rotary Club charities.  A big thank you goes out to everyone who sold or purchased tickets; we appreciate your support!
 
In other club news, it's that time of year to select new officers and board members for the next Rotary year.  Brenda Lee was elected Vice President, Rick Zacharias was reelected as club secretary and Nancy Zacharias will also retain her job as club treasurer.  Elected to the Rotary board were Brenda Lee, Tina Strong, and myself.  The club presidency is going to be run a little differently as we are going to have a different president for each month of the Rotary year.  Many club members volunteered to serve as President for a month.
 
I was also happy to announce that I've started an online blog for our club where all my columns published in The Deposit Courier will be posted and archived.  Feel free to log onto http://depositrotary.blogspot.com, where you will be able to not only read all the postings of my column, but to post your own comments and feedback on them.  Check it out and I look forward to hearing from you!
