**********************************************************
Thanking Jessica for supplying
tasty sweet bites, a special cake, and delicious fruit
last Tuesday.
Appreciating Amy for bringing sweet
bites and fruit this Tuesday!
Jessica will be perking coffee, and the carafe which she
purchased for the club's use for boiling water
will be ready for tea.
Have you volunteered yet to bring food? It can be simple
and does not have to be expensive or home baked.
Please see the front table sign-up sheet and
help fill in the blanks. Thank you!
***********************************************************
Thank you to Judy Gates and Lesley Tracy who will be
at the registration table the next two weeks, as
Don will be proctoring exams at MHS.

NEW MEMBER-GENERATED DRAFT OF OUR
UPDATED MISSION STATEMENT
"As members of the Marblehead Harbor Rotary, we
focus primarily on local community needs and opportunities through "Service Above Self." Accomplishing more together than we can individually, we also strive to connect and lend support regionally, nationally, and internationally by cooperating with new and well-established humanitarian programs, which are important to the health and well-being of people around the world."
***********************************************************
RE-WORKED MEETING SCHEDULE
There appears to be a consensus that 7:30 a.m. meeting start time may be a bit too early for a number of our members. In an attempt to address that, beginning this week, we will be going to a slightly later trial meeting schedule:
7:30 - 8:00 Registration, breakfast and fellowship;
8:00 - 8:25 Meeting start and Speaker plus questions;
8:25-8:30 Brief announcements;
Adjourn at 8:30 as often as
possible to accommodate members
who have business or medical commitments.

Monday May 13, 4:30 p.m., Barnett's home,

Thank you to all who have helped us make important and exciting progress and decisions this early in the process!
