Our new President, Pam Mushen, opened the weekly meeting at 7:30 a.m.
Jim Horrigan’s Red Team members introduced the Thought of the Day and the Rotary Minute.
President Pam announced that Club Social Events Chair Colleen White and Club Community Service Co-Chair David Mushen had already met with their committee members and have put together our first Social/Community Service event on July 13th, 4:00 p.m. at Colleen White’s residence at 9209 8th Ave NE. Everybody participating will help with preparation of a meal that will be delivered to Teen Feed at University Way NE. that same night. Teen Feed will distribute the meals.
Pam introduced her first ‘Historical Fact’ and reviewed all Club positions and areas of responsibility for the coming year. She will follow-up by emailing both the Social Events Calendar and Committee Roster to all members.
Pam, the ‘almost’ ‘Strawberry Fair Princess and probably future Queen’ of the Lebanon, Oregon community, informed and entertained us with her “This is Your Life.” so far, facts and stories about her education, career positions, and family.
We were then led into our ‘Break-Out sessions by Committee assignments’ by Lincoln Ferris, who also coordinates the ZOOM meetings each week.
**Sidenote: I was fortunate to be the only other member of the Social committee in attendance with Joseph Thomas and Claudia Gutierrez in our ‘break-out session’. They attending from Mexico City. We discussed an idea of theirs……They have mailed/emailed a local Rotarian who owns large grounds at the foot of the volcano sites and hosts two ‘Beer Festivals’ a year and an annual ‘Cut your own Tree’ Christmas Tree sale. They would like our University Sunrise Rotary membership to attend this festival in 2022. As of now, they have not heard back from the owner of the property but will keep us posted. Pam thinks this would be a great trip for us!
That’s it.
