The meeting was called to order by club president, Tom Craig. Guests were recognized and included Margaret Palisin and Elissa Young. Tom shared some of the topics discussed at the monthly board meeting. Effective January 7 the club will be meeting at Thanos Restaurant on 5th St SE. Rotary was founded as a networking group that moved from business to business for meetings and our club will continue that tradition. Tom also shared that the board voted to make a donation of $600 to Barberton Area Community Ministries (BACM) for the purpose of holiday help for two families. The club also plans on adopting a family for the holidays. The club will make a monetary donation towards gift cards for the parents and provide gifts for the children based on a submitted wish list. Club members can bring the gifts to our next meeting.
