ROTARY WEEK VOL 7 NO 5

THIS WEEK, THE FIRST MEETING (JAN 8TH) OF THE NEW YEAR 2020.    THERE
WERE NO MEETINGS ON DEC 25TH AND JAN 1ST.
ABSENSE MAKES A DIFFERENCE.    SONG LEADER ROTARIAN VOY DID HORRIBLE
JOB OF LEADING EVERYONE IN "MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE" AND CONSIDERATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO REPLACE HIM.

BUT, HIS PHOTO ABOVE CAME OUT PRETTY GOOD.   ROTARIAN DOUG MELVOLD
HOLDING THE 2ND PIN AND GETTING CERTIFICATE FROM PRESIDENT JACOB....FOR ADDING TO HIS PAUL HARRIS FELLOW, MEANING HE HAS CONTRIBUTED OVER THE YEARS, ANOTHER $1,000 TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION.

THE PROGRAM TODAY WAS PRESENTED BY ABBY STRATHMAN (ABOVE) AND
LESLIE CONNALLY, BOTH OF MAQUOKETA AND BOTH SENIORS AT MCHS.
LAST JULY, THEY ATTENDED THE ROTARY SUMMER EVENT KNOWN AS
RYLA....ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS.   IT WAS HELD FOR 4 DAYS
AT GRINNELL COLLEGE AND BOTH RAVED ABOUT IT AND HOPE MORE CAN
ATTEND FROM THIS AREA IN FUTURE YEARS.   IT WAS RYLA #8 FOR IOWA
LAST SUMMER.   IT WAS SPONSORED BY THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB.
