Today is Veteran's Day, the day when we should pause to thank, honor, and celebrate all veterans who served honorably in the military, in wartime and peacetime. A number of our club members are veterans, whom we will honor in person at our meeting next Tuesday.
In Canada, as well as the UK, everyone wears a red poppy on their label to honor veterans on this special day. This bright red flower is recognized worldwide as a symbol of sacrifice made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms. Please thank a veteran today for their service.
November is an important month for our club as we will hold our Annual Meeting on Tuesday November 29th to vote on the 2023-24 Summit Rotary Club slate of board directors and members. This will be the club board that will serve under Rob Phipps during the 2023-24 Rotary year. We have had a few board members step down while several newer members have volunteered to serve on the club board. One service committee chair remains open: Club Service/Newsletter. Cindy Levin has done an awesome job in this position over the past several years! She is more than willing to help train/mentor the next member to take over this important service committee position.
I am very excited to announce that the past president's committee has nominated Wendy Myers for the positionof President-elect Nominee (PEN) for 2024-25, and she has accepted!
Our club bylaws require members to be notified of the proposed slate at least 2 weeks prior to the club's Annual Meeting, at which time the membership will vote on the candidates. Now is the time for members to chat with the proposed board and PEN to learn how they will represent our club in the coming Rotary year. Many thanks to PE Rob Phipps for putting together a great slate of candidates for his 2023-24 term!

We're pleased to announce that we have been able to add the Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund to Amazon.
What this means...by following this link (https://smile.amazon.com/ch/84-1215233), and selecting the Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund as your Charity, Amazon will donate a percentage of every one of your purchases to us! This is a very easy way to get additional funds for our projects. If all of our members select this option, we imagine there will be a nice little contribution to help our club!
Instead of going to amazon.com when you make purchases, go to smile.amazon.com and you'll see us listed there!

The Membership Committee needs new Rotary members (especially people who have joined Rotary in the last 2 - 3 years) to join the Committee to help us meet our challenges in attracting and retaining new members. The Committee meets as needed to discuss approaches in how we can add, and involve, new members. The Summit Rotary Club is now below 100 members, and we need to recruit new folks to keep our club vibrant and involved in the community!
