Sept 21 was International Day of Peace
 
"Peace is not something you wish for,
it is something you make, something you are, something you do and something you give away." ~ Robert Fulghum
 
On Sept 21 we hope you were able to reflect on Peace, and send positive energy to those around us and throughout the world.
 
Remember peace starts from within, we cannot expect others to do what we can’t do.

Featured Speaker & Announcements
Recap Sept 19, 2024
Recap
Our meeting took an impromptu turn last week. Our poet speaker ghosted us so Kirby added a few more songs and Ginny Kirkwood had some special song requests. 
V.P. Mike Raub gave a brief vocational talk about what New York Life has to offer. He then put his mom on the spot to talk about their earlier years growing up in India. She was a trooper and due to time Mike had to cut her off mid sentence. (that's $1 Mike)
 
District Grant Recipients 
Great News - The Purple Pantry grant application was elevated to the District grant level and was approved for an additional amount of $2959. Funds should be in hand very shortly.
 
Rotary Participation
Share our upcoming events and let us know if you are able, or plan to attend our October Polio Dinner Oct 11 or World  Polio Day event on Oct 24.
 
**Polio has now showed up in Gaza, so awareness and inoculations are more important everyday.
