President Kathleen shared a 15 second Rotary image builder… It’s simple! Wear your pin! It’s the lowest cost advertising for the club Announcements and Confessions: Past President Seth Leishman was happy to confess he is no longer our club’s president. Surprisingly, he was not made a bell ringer for that announcement. Kelly Quinn was pleased to announce he has sold his business and as of two weeks ago, he is retired! Two years ago, Kelly made the same announcement and Ken Holbrooke bet him a nickel that it wouldn’t last. Kelly turned over a nickel to Ken which he has kept in his wallet for these many years. Today, Ken was pleased to give the nickel back to Kelly. Enjoy your retirement! Rod Fivelstad touted the benefits of the Rotary Interna- tional Convention which is June 4-8, 2022 in Houston, TX. Rod and Susan are big fans of the convention and encour- aged us all to attend Eric Trygg and Ken Holbrooke have transferred their Rotary membership to the Penn Valley club Speaker: Carol Scofield Carol is a motivational speaker and her pas- sion is service! In the 1990’s Carol met Dr. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peo- ple. She was very taken with his message and became certi- fied to facilitate his seminars. During this time Carol devel- oped a personal mission statement: to live, to love, to learn, and to leave a legacy. Some of the take-away’s from Carol’s presentation: If the curtain were to fall tonight, would I win the Academy Award? What are we waiting for? In 2022-2023, Jennifer Jones will be the first female Rotary International President. She encourages us all to practice “Random acts of Rotary” Make a commitment to be KIND We are life farmers and the gift of life mandates that we leave the land better than we found it. This is our year to shine—to live, love, learn, and leave a legacy. Rod Fivelstad held the lucky ticket but pulled a white marble. The meeting ended at 1:15 with Pamela Mirkin leading the 4- Way Test.
