Our speaker is Bob Bolden, Head Coach of the OU women's basketball team. For the 21 people who made reservations, the in-person part of the meeting will be hosted in the Ballroom of the OU Inn by President, Sheila Mark. Note the meeting will begin at 12 Noon and we will adjourn at 1 PM. Masks are to be worn unless you are actively eating. We will sit 6 people at a table with tables 6 feet apart. A plated meal will be served with a drink and dessert. Diane McVey will be at the meeting taking reservations for May 10th and the weeks following. You can also make reservations by calling or emailing President Sheila by 6 PM on May 3rd.
For those who did not make reservations, please join the virtual part of the meeting by clicking on the URL in your Zoom invitation email and provide the password (included in your invitation email). If this is your first Zoom meeting, you will be prompted to download the Zoom software (if you have not already done so). It is recommended that you start your sign-in about 5-10 minutes before the meeting. Note: Should you unexpectedly get cut off from the meeting, whether because of poor internet connection or because of unexpected Zoom behavior, simply re-join the meeting as you did at the start.
The in-person audience will be able to hear and view the Zoom gallery on the projector screen and the Zoom audience will be able to hear and view the live audience in a speaker window. The camera will switch between the live audience and the speaker. Since this is our first hybrid meeting, it will be a learning situation for us all. We will do our best to cue both audiences of the new procedures. Please speak up if you are not able to see or hear - wave your hands or point to your ear. We're all new at this, so be patient with us old folks.
See you all on Monday at 12:00 Noon. Have your Happy Bucks ready and bring your cans for the FOOD DRIVE!!

We are not letting COVID-19 get us down. Rotarians know that "Service Above Self" makes us happy!

Channing McAllister, President of the Athens Rotary Foundation, and Chair of the 24th Annual Athens Rotary Foundation Charity Fundraiser announced that, because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Golf Scramble would be "IMAGINARY" this year, but the Charity Fundraiser would be held as usual! The proceeds of this event have always helped fund the projects benefitting children that we support in Athens County. This is the only yearly fundraising event for the Athens Rotary Foundation. He has said previously,
"While Rotary is known for its world-wide efforts, the Athens Rotary Foundation is focused entirely on the needs here in Athens County, particularly those of the youth. Your support is very much appreciated and will help us address those needs"
This year those projects are even more vital and include recent grants to Operation Backpack, Imagination Library, Coolville Elementary, O'Bleness Diversity Books for Pediatric Offices as well as the annual Dictionary Project for every third grader in the Athens County Schools. Most recently we are providing Aid to International Students who are having a difficult time in Athens this summer because of the Pandemic. We have pledged, and completed, $50,000 commitments to Stuart's Opera House, The Dairy Barn Arts Center and continue to provide substantial scholarship support to area high school students. Our Foundation has no administrative expenses; all moneys flow directly to our projects.
We will not be able to enjoy all the fun competition at the Athens Country Club this year because of the Pandemic. But we promise you will have a warm feeling in your heart for continuing to support the Athens Rotary Foundation and our projects by supporting our "IMAGINARY" event.
