Rotary meets today

The Rotary Club of Scenic 7 meets today at noon at Molly O'Brien's on Highway 7. The meeting starts at 12:10.
Last Thursday Ed Voss presented his slide show on Rotary. Although several of the club members have seen the presentation before, he always adds something new for their benefit and there is always someone new that hasn't seen it before.
A new tidbit presented this time was the breakdown of dues paid by the Rotary Club's members. Most of the funds stay local for local project, $5 goes to Rotary International and $2 goes to the district.
The club is looking at new and different fund raising opportunities to identify and benefit local needs.
Voss also distributed a Rotary International list of club member counts by country and geographical area. There was no surprise that the United States led the member count with 362,317 in 7,859 clubs. India was the next in line with 110,604 members in 3,015 clubs.
The smallest membership was nine in Timor-Leste's one club. A club is given charter status with 20 members and maintains its club status even if the membership drops below the 20 members.
There are 33,976 Rotary clubs in 212 countries.
Lunch is available at Molly O'Brien's should you want to buy lunch to enjoy during the meeting.
