An open  meeting was held by President Lacey Gallagher on April 5th.   The focus was on preparing for the next wave of the Covid variation along with membership increase.  Polio is still an International priority with cases being reported in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  President Lacey reminded us to contribute at least $25 per year, as well as participate in the Shred for Polio event to be announced this spring.  

 

John Juras reported on future Camp Rotary projects and reminded us all to join in the annual clean up day, Saturday, April 23rd, with the 30th as a back up day in case of inclement weather.  Future project will be the possibility of a new Counselor/Camp Cook cabin and the ever ending road improvement. Plan to meet at the 4B's for breakfast at 8 and ride share to the camp.

John (aka Jack) Sherick was welcomed to Rotary on April 5th.  Sponsored by Gregg Holt, Jack has lived a life of service from an early age having met his wife Diane in a service club in Butte while both were in High School.   Jack and Diane raised three children together.  After a long career in chemical and nuclear engineering, Jack moved to Great Falls in 2003 to work for  the Montana Council for the Boy Scouts of America.
