Hello Friends!
 
What a Wednesday we had this week, starting off the morning with Golden Valley High School Interact students, then closing out the evening with a Club Social & Fireside Chat.  Thank you, Past President Ron Nelms, for steering the ship while I was tied up with my day job.  [My spies tell me you haven’t lost your touch!] 
 
Bree Goodmon, thanks for your good work with our Interactors (aka Future Rotarians)!  And Pat Thompson and Michele McClure, thank you for putting together an extra special social.  Of course, activities like these are only as good as our attendance…way to go, SHOWING UP, BBRCers!
 
If you haven’t yet completed the anonymous Member Satisfaction Survey that was emailed (twice) over the past week, please take 4 or 5 minutes to do that.  We have responses from about half of the club’s active membership.  More would be better!  This survey was created specifically for our club; it’s not administered by the District. Your board of directors wants to hear from you!  
 
We have a lot of impactful and fun activities coming up.  Watch for details on the dictionary distribution for 3rd graders, Christmas shopping at Target with elementary students (with help from our Interactors), bell ringing for the Salvation Army (on December 5), and the Christmas Party at Sheriff Woody’s (on December 6). 
 
Finally, based on what I’ve seen on social media (and in my in-box), our 30-Day Challenge is going strong!  I love seeing all the fun places our members and their Rotary pins are spending time…and the different ways you are “repping Rotary”!  Keep it up!
 
That’s it for now.  Go out and share Rotary with a friend!
