Greeter Protocol
 
When you are assigned the duty of being our greeter, you should remember the following:

1. You should be at the meeting by 11:45 AM in order to greet everyone as they come to the meeting.

2. You should bring a "Greeter's Gift" for the raffle. The gift should be approximately $20.00 in value.

3. You will be leading the giving the inspiration of the day, leading the salute to the flag, and introducing the visiting Rotarians. It is a good idea to watch the visiting Rotarians sign in, so that you can ask them about any complicated names or classifications.

4. If you cannot attend, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
 
 
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
MADE SIMPLE
 
We all think we choose what path we take in life, who we socialize and mix with, what views we hold. But those decisions are actually shaped by networks of people - David Brooks. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
 
FIRST: The Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. Rotarians have the opportunity to create relationships with many business, professional, and community leaders.
 
SECOND - High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Being a Rotarian authenticates the person and their business or profession.
 
THIRD - The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life. Rotarians nurture this personal characteristic; the cornerstone of building and sustaining relationships.
 
FOURTH - The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Rotarians become better world citizens and often build lasting international relationships.
 
ROTARIANS INFLUENCED BY THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAVE MADE THEIR FAMILIES, BUSINESSES, COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD BETTER. WHAT THEY DID IS A BY-PRODUCT OF WHO THEY ARE AND THE IMPACT THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAD ON THEM PERSONALLY.

Meeting Notes for January 17, 2019
By: Tom Port
 
Opening: John Milich, the “Copy Cat” was absent from the California High School Library where our annual joint meeting with Interact was held. So, we relied on Colette Lay to MC the show. The usual “Barry Rassin of the Bahamas is R. I President and his theme is ‘Be The Inspiration’” was recited.
 
The Flag Salute and Oath of Allegiance were led by John Tatum who offered a poem that meant a lot to him. “Look to this day for it is Life”. “Yesterday is a dream …Tomorrow is a vision.”
Main Event: This was a meeting of the Interact students led by President Shannon. She introduced the 14 members of the Board and offered highlights of the club’s activities, both locally and globally, over the year.  The club’s 200 members put in 724 hours as volunteers at over 20 events.
 
Some $500 was donated directly by the club and there were numerous fund-raising events. “Rise Against Hunger” is a major program of Interact and helps people here and around the world in need of food. The club also supported “Bay Area Movers and Shakers”, the District Kickoff, Inter key, Adopt a Family, the Primo’s “Run for Education”, among others.
 
Upcoming events include the Rise Against Hunger fund raiser on Feb. 16, the Art and Wind Festival food booth, and the Sunny Glen Smoke alarm Project.  On Feb 25-27 “On Fire Pizza” will contribute a portion of their proceeds to Interact. Additional fund raisers and food drives are expected. Wednesday weekly meetings are at 12:45 pm.
 
This year’s advisers are Gary Sloan and Norbert Walz.
