<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Rotarians,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Our meeting begins at 5:30 at the Hill House this Thursday. We are setting up in the bar area this week. Please choose 4 items from the attached menu listing your top choices at the top of the list and respond, and I will try to get some of your choices. We need to order 3-4 appetizers that can members can place on small plates, so think of ones that can be shared with 15-20 people. We will ask Jamie for pricing at 15, 20 and so on until our numbers stabilize. If you have an idea for food not on this list, put that down for future evening meetings. Think of pub fare like Patterson's has- is there something they serve that you like? No deep fry. Baked or cold items only. Egg-free gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian choices will be part of our offerings. I know- change takes work!!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Invite guests. A business/owner or professional on Main Street? An Innkeeper? Music Festival friends? A Rotarian who has left, to invite back? Everyone needs to invite and bring guests. Spouses and partners too!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">The format will be different, and more of a social after a brief bit of a meeting. We do have a speaker for our next evening meeting in November- Kate Lee, Publisher of the Mendocino Beacon. What I would like is for a member or two to be at a table and to tell guest or potential members about Rotary.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Be ready to answer What is Rotary? Keep it short. Remember that 3 in twenty rule. We have 3 seconds to begin, and 20 to wrap it up. Rotary is leaders coming together, forming friendships, talking about problems, and coming up with plans to help others. Something like that. Look on <a href="http://www.Rotary.org">http://www.Rotary.org</a> Look at our website <a href="http://www.mendocinorotary.org">http://www.mendocinorotary.org</a> and tell them about it, and our calendar of events. Look at our Facebook page, Mendocino Rotary, Like and share. You can leave comments or post there too. Photo's of projects are great to post.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">John Porter, can you bring some copies of you letter to your faithful donors to our meeting?
