Heidi Revels with FHS Special Ed Work Experience
Some days I take for granted the privilege I have to go into a job that I love and make a difference in my members lives.  It only seems natural that I get up in the morning, get my kids ready for school and head off to work.  For others it may not be that easy and this may be the case for those with special needs right here in our community.
 
Heidi Revels with FHS and the Work Force program is going to be stopping in today to teach us how our community is bridging that gap to bring woderful special needs individuals into the working world and how we as a club can be of assistance.
 
Please join me in welcoming Heidi to our club.
No STRIVE this week
I am thankful for my fellow Rotarians that keep me walking the straight and narrow and let me know items I should know but don't :)  No STRIVE this week.  I can't wait to hear about their Thanksgiving and what they loved the most about being done with the 1st Trimester next week.
Having fun with Rotary
Enjoy your Rotary friends while having fun and doing good in the world. Check out the following opportunities:
 
 
 
  • 5:01 Club
    • This is what they call paying off the tease
    • 5:01 Club will recommence on 2/7/19 - That is a "Thirsty Thursday" and a great opportunity to get out in the community and show them who we are
      • I am open to staying at Bourbon Butcher (due to the fact I love me a good Kentucky Mule) or spreading our wings to a new venue in town
 
  • Heart Screening at Farmington High School on 2/23/19
    • Volunteer help is needed for this event

  • Breaking Free Current Needs Drive - this can be a 1 time item or something we look to do on a more consistent basis
    • Breaking Free does amazing things with victims of sex trafficking
    • They are always in need of donations - the link above takes you to their current needs
    • This can be a group discussion about how the logistics of collecting the items needed
    • Leshia has a .pdf of items needed that we can start collecting for the month of February - The Source will not allow me to paste it in the body of this email - please let me know if you would like to see the list and I can send it to you.
Meeting hosts
A reminder to check the meeting host schedule in the sidebar of The Source to learn when you are scheduled to serve. Each Rotarian serves as a meeting host one month of the year and is responsible for working with your co-host(s) to do the following:
  • Schedule speakers for your month
  • Arrive early to set up
  • Give the meal count to the kitchen
  • Stay late to take down
Please review the meeting host responsibilities for complete details. Contact Janie if you have questions or a conflict with the month you are assigned.
 
Thank you Sara, TJ and Lori for being great meeting hosts for December.  Leshia, Ann and Krysia ... you are starting off the 2019 calendar year and the half way point of the Rotary year with hosting duties.
