Don Kaser won the coin toss and ran the morning meeting. Our guests included our speaker, Clarance Bechter, Carolyn Rees, and Tim Weyer from the Rotary Club of Green. Tim shared an upcoming fund raising event for his club- a chili cook off to be held on November 9. Tim wondered if any of our club members had award winning chili and provided entry information. The Salvation Army Belling volunteer sign up sheet was passed around. We will be ringing the bell on Friday, Dec. 6 at the Barberton Giant Eagle. There are 2 open volunteer spots remaining, one at 2-3, and one at 3-4pm that day.
No one won the big 50/50 pot- now over $400.
Don, Bob Rees and Tim Weyer from the Green club attended the Rotary Membership workshop held this past Saturday, in Kent. One item from the workshop was several clubs are wondering about increasing membership and several things are being tried to reach out to new perspective members. Post meeting Tim, Ruth and Todd discussed planning a joint club social outing for membership at a mid point venue.
Our speaker Clarance Bechter shared the story and pictures of his bicycle trip across country. His trip was over 52 nights and it was through a company called Bubba's Pampered Peddlers. Clarance shared the Ohio contingent was the largest of the group.
