DG Lydia Wells

We met a little early with district Governor Lydia Wells.  Couple of things we touched upon to improve the club.  Interact club running the meeting in the future?  We talked about Harold's email again and how he wants people to respond.  Feel free to reach out to Harold.   Rosane gifted Tom Guldi a red sargent hat, also Lynda received a pink rotary hat.  Lynda read a thank you from Scholorship recipent Emma Vail.   Michael O'Sullivan resigned for rotary and made a donation on his behalf.  A committee was created to start a new fundraiser selling plants.  Rosane talked about her flag project for veterans and Lydia added that the Greenport Rotary does the same fundraiser.   We are trying to form a committee for that too.  Please let us know.  Tom Guldi was our sargent.  Paul C was back in the winners circle winning the 50/50.  I had to carry the bucket so i missed a lot of the routine.  But it was great seeing everyone at the same time as we had 25 rotarians in the house for this meeting.   Assistant Governor Mark Strecker introduced District Governor Lydia Wells.  Lydia has a background in education and a strong connection to Ryla.   Lydia has a wealth of information to share with Rotary.  It was great to go around the room and talk about everyone's individual journey's with the question, Why did you join Rotary?  Lot's of interesting answers.  It was good to hear Lydia talk about building strong relationships and bonds.  As the focus with declining membership continues to be an issue worldwide.  We have some great people in the club and we should be thankful that we have this club and able to share time together in everything that we do.  Thank you Lydia, Rich and AG Mark for joining us today.
