Volume 79 | Issue 12 / October 4, 2023

 

I quickly realized that I still could not hear the meeting because it was on mute, so I quickly got the groups attention and jumped right into capturing the meeting. Bob began the meeting with sharing some updates about the ongoing project on Silver Lane. He then shared a brief recap of the board meeting that took place the night prior (10/3/23).  Bob highlighted the importance of the upcoming meeting on November 3rd, which recipients from charitable organizations would be awarded checks on behalf of the East Hartford Rotary Club. Sue suggested extending the invitation to the organizations to be present for the meeting that day. Bob also reminded the group that November 22nd meeting (day before thanksgiving 2023) will be a very eventful meeting as our district governor visit will be attending the meeting. Ceil suggested having the annual wine and cheese gathering that takes place on this day on the Wednesday meeting before due to the volume of the meeting on November 22nd. This is still TBD. Bob closed meeting out by sharing that there might be an increase to the golf tournament this upcoming year. He will continue to update everyone as he received the information.
