Greetings Fellow Rotarians!

    Bo Bohannon made up some flyers about the Rotary for us to hand out to our guests. The art nice looking and informative.

    Dee Hauber invited Mike Howard to join us for lunch. He is the owner of Midway Carnival. A Groton Carnival could be a fundraiser for us. We had very interesting lunch conversation and we will pursue our possibilities at the next visioning meeting. The membership is welcome to join us at the next Visioning meeting.

    Nick Utz spent 2 days in the hospital with a kidney stone. We are glad to hear all is well and he is healthy again.

    Our speaker was Jim Bates, a financial advisor from Edward Jones.

    He gave us the lowdown on interest rates, how they affect ones investments, and strategies to help manage current risks.

    It was an interesting and understandable presentation on how to maneuver through difficult times. Bottom line, diversify!

Have a great Rotary Week,  RB Kent

Greetings Fellow Rotarians!

Hi All,

We are having a fund raising possibilities meeting on Monday Aug 16 at 6PM at Lian’s Office, The Remax on Bridge Street.

We will be discussing how to revitalize our fund raising ventures, especially the auction.

Please bring any ideas you might have or email them to me so we can talk about them if you are unable to attend.

One of my thoughts would be to raffle off something smaller, like a Scooter, that we could pull the winning ticket at Octoberfest-there might be time constraints on that idea but more smaller ventures is one way to raise more funds without overwhelming ourselves.

I also think we need to be specific about what we are raising the money for as a way to make it clearer to area residents what we are about. What project in this town would we like to get behind and create change for the better?

If we plan our projects further out and come up with something new we would be able to avail ourselves of District Matches.

Double our money and double our fun, see how Groton Rotary gets it done!

Thanks and an RSVP would be welcome.

Lea Doran,  Club Vice President
