Round Table Pizza in Salmon Creek will continue to be our meeting location through November, at least, as the club's search for a new meeting location is hopefully drawing to a conclusion.
With many thanks to our own Dan Sockle and to Rotary Club of Vancouver Sunrise President Mark Doar, we've been assured that appropriate staff to bartend will be available for both our November 4 and November 18 club meetings at Round Table. We also will not be charged a fee to use the meeting room. While meetings will continue to be done in a hybrid format, we're happy to have in-person meetings again. If you're interested in having a pizza, sandwich or salad bar, please try to arrive a little bit early to limit so you don't miss any fellowship time or meeting content. Round Table Pizza Royalty is located at 13009 NE Highway 99, Vancouver, near the Safeway in Salmon Creek, just east of the Salmon Creek Burgerville. After the resignation of President Daniel, the club's board of directors met at 10 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 21 to work through a process to replace him for the remainder of the current Rotary year. After discussion, the board agreed on the importance of allowing President Elect Andi Costello to keep her focus on training and preparation for her year as President - which begins July 1, 2022 - and to have some mentoring time. As such, the club's past presidents, all of whom were present at the meeting, were polled and Nelson Holmberg was able to move back into the role of Club President for the remainder of the Rotary year, effective immediately. Holmberg will preside over the club meeting on Thursday, Nov. 4. Citing a couple of significant family health concerns that will change the way he and his family will allocate their time, Club President Daniel Spanski Dreffin has resigned his presidency, effective immediately, and will be leaving Rotary.
Daniel's wife Kaaren has also resigned her position as President Elect of the Greater Clark County club, and has stepped down from Rotary due to the health issues the family needs to take care of. We wish the Dreffin family all the best in caring for their family members. Thank you to Daniel for the commitment he made, and the time spent, to prepare for service, and his time spent as Club President. It's no small task, and the club is grateful. The club board of directors will work through a process to replace President Daniel for the remainder of the current Rotary year. President Elect Andi Costello, in accordance with the club bylaws, will preside over a special meeting of the club board, and the October 21 club meeting at Round Table in Salmon Creek. Going back to the place of this club's beginnings, we are going to try Round Table Pizza in Salmon Creek as a potential new meeting space for the October 21 meeting.
The location has been recently remodeled since 2016 when we originally met there. The back meeting room is said to be able to accommodate 30 or so people for a club meeting. It's also got three TVs available to us. Pizza, salad bar, beverages are all available and encouraged, so be sure to arrive early and place your order. Round Table Pizza Royalty is located at 13009 NE Highway 99, Vancouver, near the Safeway in Salmon Creek, just east of the Salmon Creek Burgerville. |
