Meeting Location Change to Congregational Church!!!!
This is a reminder that this week's meeting will be held in the Tollman Fellowship Hall at the Winnetka Congregational Church (725 Pine St.).  Just look for the church's steeple across from the Winnetka Community House.  An elevator is available. 
 
While there will be no speaker, we will have an impromptu Club Assembly to talk about the club's future direction.
Meeting Notes October 26
President Bob led today’s meeting with 13 in-person Rotarians, and 1 guest: Ron Bernardi.
Announcements:  Bob inducted a new member today: Ken Drummet.  Ken has been a Rotarian for 27 years before joining our Club.  He moved to the Mews in Winnetka recently.  David Birkenstein is his sponsor.
Happy Bucks:
Bill is happy that he saw Rich on TV recently being interviewed about Operation Warm.
Ron:  Is happy to shake the hand of the world’s newest Rotarian!
Fred:  Is happy for the best showing of leaves on the trees in Winnetka this fall that he can remember.  He is also happy about the stellar community contributions that Terry Dason makes for the Chamber of Commerce and particularly the farmers market, and for all that Barb Tubekis does for the Volunteer Center.
Speaker:  Steve Anderson is the New Trier Township Community Partnerships Coordinator.  The township donates more than $1.5 million to 34 agencies that reach a population of 57,000 township residents.  More than 2,000 of those residents live under the poverty line and require services.
Share Your Bounty 2023
Continuing our club's long standing Thanksgiving tradition, we will once again partner with the Volunteer Center to provide post-holiday groceries for families in transitional housing who are served by Good News Partners in Chicago's North of Howard neighborhood. We will purchase groceries in bulk at Costco and club members will bag the groceries at our November 16th meeting.
 
Please donateto help us provide post-holiday groceries to these families in need. You can bring a check or cash to a lunch meeting, make a pledge by emailing your pledge to info@wnrotary.org, or donate online by clicking here: DONATE NOW. We hope to provide over 150 bags of groceries, and have a fundraising goal of $4,000. We already have a matching grant from The Rotary Foundation for $1,760. This will be easy if everyone contributes. 
 
Please donate by November 12.
