We met and had lunch a la carte at Mendocino Cafe. Thanks to Meridith, Manuel, Clara and Ivan for making it work for us. We will do it again, next week!!</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Members present included Susan, Matt, Gary, Toby, Harold, Dean, John C, Jeff, Jesse, Scott, Jerry K and Annie Liner (12). Jesse was zoommaster, John C manned the front desk and Toby and John helped set up and clean up. Thanks to both for their help. We stored our stuff in the equipment shed!! </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We zoomed but nobody signed in to the zoom. We need you guys and girls, particularly for these discussions which are aimed at shaping our activities for next year so please join us preferably with your presence or if you cannot be physically present by zoom next week. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We saluted the flag, said the pledge, collected happy dollars and fines, and raffled a bottle of wine which was won by Jesse. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We talked about social and fund raising events, which are summarized as follows:</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Emphasis: Youth, Park, Community</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">June 27, possible table at Hospital 50th anniversary: we someone to man a table if we are to do it.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">July 4: In the park, very low-key, put up and raise the flag, put up a billboard and a banner as we did last year, man a table to inform people about Rotary. No crowds, no barbecue, no band. The Humane Society may put its adoption van in the park.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Later in the summer, if and when we are well past the pandemic and sure we will be safe: something for the community, not to attract visitors, between major holidays: August 7? Possible activities: a band, a bicycle race around the headlands, a cornhole competition, a dog show, a trapeze act, face painting for kids. A barbecue. Tables for local NOGs and other interested parties. This could be a major kickoff to our social program for the year, and a cornerstone of our membership drive. We need someone to step forward to make this happen. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">DIne Out Take Out Raffle (DOT): There was considerable support doing it again, probably in the fall as it was this year. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Golf Tournament: will take time to set up, could do a simple one this summer but if there are to be raffle or auction prizes, it will take longer. Need to avoid a conflict other fund raisers such as the DOT raffle. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Casino Night: there was considerable support for doing this in March, as before, Pete may be able to take the lead with help from a number of others.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We talked about projects:</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Community: benches and wastebins for the Community Center, and possibly for the Park.

Possibly do with the PTA. Need someone to work on this.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Connectivity: hardware, internet subscriptions and coaching for those in our community, primarily young and poor, who cannot connect. Need a social media/media specialist. We talked with the school about this last year, but cancelled when the Superintendent said they had funds from the State. The need may be appearing again. Need someone to look into this.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Covid 19: funding for the Street Medicine Program to provide access to vaccinations for street people.
