August / September 2022
This monthly newsletter is a wonderful, fun resource for all information related to our club! 
 
Apologies on the delay. The editor was canoeing for three weeks and did not have cell reception to send the August newsletter out on time at the beginning of last month.
President's Message

The busy summer is winding down, and it's time to buckle down on our club projects. 
 
We've had difficulty securing volunteers and point people for projects. Between recruiting new members, the tree project, working with young Rotarians, collecting can/bottle donations, PR activities, stocking the food pantry, and staffing the trailer at events, there's a lot going on for a club our size!
 
So, we'll need to be selective in which projects we pursue going forward and ensure we can effectively staff the projects we choose. 
 
That way, we can do the most good by focusing our efforts together rather than spreading ourselves thin. 
 
At our next meeting, let's plan to discuss how we can equitably distribute responsibilities so everyone gets to participate and enjoy giving back.
 
Looking forward to an exciting fall, friends!
 
Stay safe,
Mariah Obiedzinski
