Minutarian Update, Week 41
It is with great pleasure I announce the addition of a new club in District 6970; The Rotary Club of Interlachen/Lakes Area. They are being sponsored by The Rotary Club of Palatka Sunrise, and current Sunrise member, Danny Hemphill will be the club's Charter President. Many thanks, indeed special thanks to Danny, PDG Russ Miller, Area Governor Brent Coates, member Larry Harvey and many others, for their commitment to making this happen. I look forward to personally thanking the near 30 new Rotarians, during the upcoming charter ceremonies. More to come on that in a future Rotary Minute, as Rotarians throughout the District will be invited to participate in this wonderful event. Welcome, club number 60, to our great District.
This past week I got to spend a day in the woods west of Bunnell. I realize some of our more humorous Minutarians may choose to stop reading at that point, but please continue on. I joined a crew of perhaps 30 guys, cutting swamp cabbage for the annual Catfish Festival. There were young, and not as young. Some like me doing it for the first time, and others having done it in support of the Rotary Club and community of Crescent City for over 35 years. If you are ever searching for the description of the Family of Rotary, this day offers just that.
Keep doing those wonderful things you do! Have a great week!
