The social meeting for this week has been moved to Elle’s on Main!  The Brew House is still under construction.  Look for it’s opening soon.  Bring a friend and/or family to Elle’s for drinks and/or a meal.  The only business will be signing up to work at the Pumpkin Festival and our weekly drawing ($142.00 + pot)!

 

Sign up to help out at the Pumpkin Festival this year!  We need help at the Chamber’s information booth and at our own booth selling grocery grab tickets and chances on a picnic table.  Sign up Wednesday or email Jim F.

 

Last Wednesday’s meeting notes:   This event brought together immigrants and U.S.-born residents in a spirit of unity to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone – including new Americans.  We learned that there are so many more applications for visas that it takes as long as 20 years to get an interview for a visa. 

 

Geoff Easton's ticket was drawn at our last meeting, but the Queen of Spades remains hidden.  He donated his eight dollar winnings to the dictionary fund.  This week, the pot starts at $142.

 

Crete Library & Community Center--The opportunity to vote on a community center in Crete will come on November's election ballot.  This community center will provide library services as well as a storm shelter in severe weather.  We will have more information on this center at our Tuesday October 11 meeting at noon.  The location is TBD.

 

Youth Cabin Grant Project:  As the weather improves, we will keep you up to date on work we need to accomplish on this project.

 

Members responsible for programs at meetings for October are Tom S. and Jill M.; for November, Mary G. and Jim J.

 

We need a volunteer to put Ann Howard's desk on Craig’s list.  Let either Jim F. or Tom S. know if you're interested.  

Our club now has a Facebook page!  If you are on Facebook, simply search Crete Rotary Club and like our page.  Don't forget to share on our own page to get the word out!  An event is created for the Pumpkin festival if you'd like to share that, as well.  Janelle McGinnis, Mariana Garcia, and Alec Engebretson will all be admins in the upcoming weeks, so if you have suggestions for the page, let one of them know.  It's brand new, so any ideas are welcomed.
