Today's Inspiration

 
“I am only one; but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
            - Helen Keller
Misaki Saito - Miyuki Lee's guest. Thank you for joining us for the fourth time!

General Assembly

Rotary Moment:  Lorraine asked club members to write down one word in the chat of what Rotary means to them.  Results to be shared at the next meeting.
 
Board Decisions:  Lorraine reported on Board decisions made at the last two Board meetings.
  • Bob Juettner, Virginia Juettner and Barbara Hastings request for Rule of 85 status was granted.  Congratulations!  There are other club members who qualify for senior status under the Rule of 85 but must request approval to receive it.
  • The Board decided to cancel an in-person Oktoberfest and that we would like to pursue a virtual event.  Dave D. is leading the committee to investigate the possibilities.
  • Watching the You Tube video of the meeting will constitute as a make-up meeting while we continue to be on Shelter in Place restrictions.
  • The District Grant recipient was the YWCA Developmental Preschool.  Members of the Board felt strongly about the other applicant, Friends of the Children's Justice Center that they decided to solicit individual funds from members to support the FCJC.  Dale T. is leading the collection of checks.  For anyone wanting to contribute, write your check to Friends of the Children's Justice Center and send and/or give it to Dale T.
  • The goals and budget for this Rotarian year is going to be similar to past years.  While we are in the midst of a pandemic, we don't want to be overly aggressive but be intentional in what and how we go about our projects, goals, revenue and expenditures.
  • We are going to at least Zoom through August and revisit in person meetings/Zoom meetings or a hybrid as changes in restrictions change.
Zoom vs. In person meetings.  Lorraine reported that she has had inquiries and requests about having in person meetings.  After feedback from the membership, we will continue to Zoom and offer in person socials for the time being.
 
Door Prizes.  Lorraine has 5 different gift certificates to be given for door prizes.  She requested that a club member assist in helping with tickets and establishing the winner.  Lorraine is willing to be responsible for the delivery of the door prize to the winner.  Anyone interested to please contact Lorraine.
 
Lorraine had other topics to cover -- and will send out a Doodle poll to start discussions.
 
Thank you for a lively meeting and to all who participated. 
 
Additional Announcements
Alan O. reported a discussion that he had with District 5000 regarding the Foundation.  His discussion prompted a larger discussion among members with the conclusion about whether we reinstate our foundation status or stay with using the District 5000 as our umbrella needs more discussion and research.  We currently have money in the District 5000 Foundation that is available to us and can continue to use it while we make that determination.

Happy Dollars

Alan Okinaka - ($15) Happy that Kaleo will be returning soon. He is also winning his battle with the weeds in his yard. Also happy to find out that our anniversary bouquets are still being delivered.
Tom Witthans - ($20) $5 for each of his twins who is back home to stay for a while and purchased a car for him. Another $10 for finding the differences in driving a Silverado vs. the car he had.
Art Taniguchi - ($31) Last week, he offered $26 happy dollars for his 26 years in Rotary and Lorraine didn't list it, so he added another $5 this week. Lorraine understands that if she forgets it this week, she pays a fine!
Paula Uusitalo - ($5) $5 for making it through the week without a storm.
Jan Haraguchi-Abundo - ($21) Happy to celebrate her anniversary.
Barbara Hastings - ($5) Happy to see Chester. Chester has been ill and she was quite worried about him.
Anita Cunningham - ($10) Happy she and her family are healthy and Hurricane Douglas didn't hit us.
Virginia and Bob Juettner - ($10) Happy and sad. They are happy there was no hurricane damage and Civil Defense system works. They are also sad to find out that their Arizona club's past president's husband passed away.
Lorraine Davis - ($10) happy. She had left her cell phone on the roof of her car and drove off. A good Samaritan picked up the phone from the highway and returned it to Lorraine. Lorraine uses her cellphone case as a wallet so her driver's license and a credit card was with the phone and the phone was returned intact.
