We are ready to Charter!

Lisa Bayautet delivered the Moment of Inspiration at last night's meeting. There were 15 people in attendance at Scot & Ashley Brantley's home as the club handled important business moving toward chartering!

Our new club's momentum is really rolling after a wonderful meeting this past Thursday, when were generously hosted by Scot and Ashley Brantley at their home in Salmon Creek. We held a club assembly to formalize a number of things, which brought us even closer to our charter.

In fact, we are ready to submit our charter application to District 5100 and Rotary International!

The evening started with two more charter member applications, bringing our total to 21! (Welcome to the club Rick Wickizer and Lisa Abrahamsson). With three more expected before we submit our application, we've almost reached the goal of 25!

The membership voted to formalize the first and third Thursdays of each month as our meeting schedule, effective October 1, 2016. We will also meet for firesides or fellowship on the fifth Thursdays when those occur.

Our 2016-17 officers and directors were also elected and they are:

President - Susanne Cox
President Elect - Nelson Holmberg
Sergeant at Arms - Bob Dingethal
Secretary - Kristi Straight
Treasurer - Kelley Campbell
Membership Director - Scot Brantley
Service Projects Director - James Neste
The Rotary Foundation (TRF) Director - Jim Selby
Club Administration Director - Shirley Gross
Public Relations Director - Lisa Bayautet

Many thanks to Scot and Ashley for hosting us at their lovely home. They put out a wonderful spread and were very gracious hosts.
