Meeting Notes
Tonight we inducted our newest member Lily Lynch to our club! The induction was conducted by Guy Kittelsen.  Welcome Lily! We hope Rotary becomes as meaningful to you as is does to all of us! Lily's sponsor is Elena Barbone.
 
President Lynn also presented Guy Kittelsen with a Paul Harris+2 pin. Congrats Guy on your accomplishment which helps make the world a better place!
 
Business Meeting tonight.
 
Most people responded to President Lynn's survey to have in-person meetings only but the club's Board has decided to try and run hybrid meetings.   So for the immediate future, all meetings will be in-person but also offer a zoom link so others may attend virtually or on the phone.  Those on zoom will be able to hear and see the meetings but will be put on mute during the meeting.  The chat box will be open for any comments by zoom attendees.  This is being done to reduce the amount of "technology interference" during meetings.  We'll see how it goes...
 
Treasurer Jason Miller reports that finances are in good shape.  Only about 50% of members have paid dues so please see Jason BEFORE he needs to see you...  The club's Board has decided to put $20,000 into a long range planning account for strategic projects to be determined by a newly formed Strategic Planning Committee.  More on this in the near future.  A District 7120 facilitator may be called in to help us with this long range planning process.
 
In order to have a more formalized procedure to gauge ad hoc funding requests, the Board is planning to draft a Funding Application Form that requestors will need to complete.  It will include the criteria needed to be considered for club funding.  This draft will go to the club for a vote before being adopted.  
 
A new committee has been formed to update the Club By-Laws.  The committee will consider changes suggested by new Rotary International guidelines for by-laws.
 
iCare is creating a new website using our donations.  It is progressing well.
 
Irondequoit National Night Out is August 4th.  See Louis DiPrima to sign up for this event.
 
Potential date for our club fellowship meeting at Sodus is August 25th.  Ray Holla is checking the date with the caterer.  
 
The Special Gift Horse Auction is delayed until September 15-17 and will have an Octoberfest theme.  Please solicit local breweries/bars for contributions such as Free Tastings,  beer donations, or gift certificates.  See Dan Dwyer for more info.
 
Good to hear that Lou DiPrima is feeling better and will soon be home from the hospital.  Also reports are that Norb Rappl has been seen around town and doing better.
 
Lee Steinfeldt is collecting items for the Haccamo Playhouse and needs a place for storage.  Ray Holla offered up his basement.  All donations must be wood or plastic.  No metal items accepted.
 
Meet at the Lighthouse at Sea Breeze on Monday, July 26th at 6:30 pm if you can help with weeding and mulching.
