I hope EVERYONE can join us IN PERSON for our August 17th meeting!  We are going to have a club photo taken.  I will start the meeting at noon so we can be done by 12:45. We will go outside to the church steps and quickly find our places and SMILE!  The last time we had a club photo taken was in 2009.  This one will represent our wonderful Kent Rotary Club for our 100th year.  I hope everyone can be there that day.  If it rains, we will reschedule for the following Tuesday, August 24th.  We will be meeting at Stanton Middle School on the 24th, so I am very hopeful that the weather is wonderful and we can all be together for our club photo.
 
Here’s the link for our lunch orders for this week.  If you signed up last Tuesday, you do NOT need sign up for this.  This week’s lunch is $13 and you will select from three options: pesto chicken, salmon, and salad.  All come with a delicious dessert.  Please bring your payment to the meeting.  I will bring bottles of water.
 
Our meeting on August 24th will be held at Stanton Middle School.  We cannot meet at the church since they will be setting up their Trash and Treasure Sale.  (Be sure to visit and support them during their sale.)  We will get to meet the new Kent teachers at the 24th meeting… and what better place than at the school.  More info will be coming in the next few weeks, but I hope you will plan ahead to be there.  You can attend that meeting via Zoom, though I it will be a more basic set up than that which we have had at the church.
 
Last Tuesday we got a great update on what is happening with Kent City School facilities upgrades from Superintendent George Joseph.  I am grateful that the levy passed that made these necessary updates a possibility.  And, I’m grateful that we have such terrific leadership in our Kent Schools!
 
I will be reaching out to the newest members of our club in the next week or so to schedule a lunch.  I plan to take our new members to lunch and to invite the board and other interested Rotarians to join us.  Stay tuned.
 
Remember to invite friends and colleagues to be your guest at our meetings.  We want to share our great club and all we do for the Kent community and beyond.
 
Let’s Serve to Change Lives!
 
With gratitude,
Kathy
