Welcome to our club!
Good day fellow Rotarians,
Believe it or not, November is upon us. Living in Iowa this time of year is very interesting indeed. Wow! What a change as we finished out the month of October. Those who live in other parts of the country are really missing out on the opportunity to experience ALL FOUR seasons in a week's time, let alone a month.
I want to thank Dan Culhane, President & CEO of Ames Chamber of Commerce, for leading the effort to line up our guest speakers last month and we definitely ended on a high note. I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait to get over to Madrid and experience the Treehouse Village at the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say ‘kudos’ to Katy McMahon for doing yeoman’s work to help put together a great plan to line up these fantastic speakers.
Let’s hit the ground running in November as we welcome District Governor Dennis Drager to our club. I gave a charge at the end of our club meeting on Monday, October 30th…..Let’s Pack the House Monday, November 6th.
I’m sure that some of you will be helping Pack the Jack on Saturday night against KU with me, so rest up on Sunday and let’s do it again on Monday (at the Plex of course). This is homecoming week at Iowa State University, which culminates in the aforementioned game versus the Jayhawks. Merriam-Webster defines homecoming as “the return of a group of people usually on a special occasion to a place formerly frequented or regarded as home”. Let’s consider November as our homecoming month in Rotary! If you have not attended for a while, we want to see you! Invite a guest, fellow Rotarian, former Rotarian to attend next Monday and the month of November to show them what we are all about.
You are always Welcome at Rotary.
Go Cyclones!
