Committee Reports:
In person meeting? Is a priority but need to establish protocols at the Church and find a way to keep everyone safe. Some still require a virtual setting and we want to be sure we have a quality system set for this. Let Mark know if you have questions!
New Fund Raiser! WMLRW: When Mark Loses Rotary Wins! Mark wants to lose weight. $10/pound lost will be donated by Mark. There will be a link to send pledges for members to be involved. If Mark does not lose anything in a week he will match pledges of others! This is to be fun and supportive for Mark! There will be a 50/50 raffle to guess weight (still working on details for this one), scale is to the nearest 2 tenths. Starts next week and will weigh in every Thursday morning.
Boat Show will be on this year! Reduced events but will be selling tickets at gates (no wrist bands, yea!). August 14-16th. WestBaysignup.com to sign up!
