President Wayne Hodges opened the virtual meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, then we recited the modified Four Way Test.  The invocation was given by Juliane Morian, asking for help to allow us to listen, and welcome all, beseeching , remembering those who served, and asking for strength to continue to do what Rotarians are best at.  Virtual lunch was served.

HAPPY BUCKS
There were many virtual happy bucks given during the meeting, here is a sampling:
From John Somerville to Everyone:  12:14 PM
I’m happy that more of my small business clients can open on Monday!
From Jeff Whitbey to Everyone:  12:14 PM
I am happy that one of my happy clients cut my hair.
From Kyle to Everyone:  12:14 PM
Happy Buck that the stay at home order will be lifted! I can finally get a haircut!
From Kathy Losinski to Everyone:  12:15 PM
I am happy that the Clothes Closet is opening by appointment
From Rachel to Everyone:  12:15 PM
My happy buck is a $20 happy buck. Last year during the habitat for humanity dinner was a very sad day for me. As a rotary member I was excited to support. While there I had 2 families come to me and congratulate me on my new home as if I was the recipient. I was the only person of color at that fundraiser. When the third couple approached us they kneeled down to my 13 year old daughter and congratulated her on her new home and asked about her children. He was referring to her 3 younger siblings. At this point I left. I considered leaving rotary feeling like I didn’t belong. Of course this was not my only experience, just mine with rotary. This past week there has been a lot of sorrow realized around the world and it breaks my heart but my happy buck today is for the love I’ve seen. The love I’ve received from some of my rotary members this week and the love I’ve seen around the world has fed part of my soul that I was ignoring. I have hope for my beautiful children and their future.
From lindameastman to Everyone:  12:17 PM

Wendy Jones then spoke to us about Next Steps 4 Seniors, seniors response to COVID-19.  Their mission to offer support financially, assist physically, and share spiritually is continuing throughout the pandemic.  Great to see this, bringing hope and faith to our most vulnerable population.  Thank you so much for your presentation Wendy.
