Meeting was called to order by club president, Jim Sawin. Critch distributed the golf outing raffle tickets to club members in attendance, Bob advised he will mailing out tickets too.The District Sub Zero project was discussed. Below is a relisting of the email discussing the project: Good chilly morning my fellow Rotarians! Our District Governor Amy Kapostasy has asked that we kick off our District Conference this year with a District Service Project to support our community. She has chosen a great nonprofit group to support. The name of the Charity is Sub Zero Mission. Sub Zero Mission helps homeless stay warm during the winter months by providing hats, coats, gloves, boots, sleeping bags, new socks, tents and other warming items. They do this because nobody should freeze to death in America. A group of volunteers from sub Zero Mission helps find those exposed to the elements in northeast Ohio and other cities in the region then offers them warming items. The 501C3 BBB 5-Star Accredited Organization owns several vehicles to scout and make deliveries in these areas. The group also concentrates on finding veterans who make up a high percentage of homeless. They carry special laminated cards with contact information in order to get them the special help that is available to veterans We are asking all of our Rotary and Interact clubs to collect men's boots, size 9-13, Adult Sleeping Bags, Gloves, Coats and Hats and bring them to the District Conference in April. We will have a collection point at the check in area. These items will be used next winter in our area. Please only bring the items listed. Let's make a difference and keep people from freezing. Thank you in advance for helping! Bob Oborn RC of Stow-MunroeFalls
Our speaker was not able to join us this morning so it was a short meeting.
