President Keith welcomed Noah Jensen.
Noah walked us through last years financials ( to June 2025)
The motion to approve last years budget was unanimous. I think Keith will be sending out a short ' members only' summary.
Tom Everett thanked Noah. Keith thanked Tom Everett. They run a tight ship.
Todd then shared some of the 100th Anniversary committees ideas for 2026.
In brief here are most of the ideas. Todd will send more details.
1/ Electronic Time capsule....Kids give a snapshot of what is going on in their lives, what they think and do in 2026.
2/ Booklet on Rotary. " Us over the years" Good bedtime reading.
3/ Grade 12ers write about the 7 areas of Rotary and are judged on their effort.
4/ Merchandise: Tee Shirts, commemorative disc.
5/ Duck race. This might be a big one. But would need to be coordinated with a City of Cambridge - Mill Race Park Festival. Not yet finalized by the city. Todd worries about river levels in May. Stray ducks will be the responsibility of the Ancient Mariners Club or the National Rifle Association.
6. The Hilborn Property which is owned by our Foundation. How about a cell phone tower with our logo on it?
7. 100th Birthday Party. This could be excrutiating. ( not my comment)
And don't forget we have all the regular events happening. We don't want to bite off too much.
Todd ( Keith ) thanked the committee.
Some jokes to end the meeting. Next week is Clayton's ' Who am I " #2. Presently at home looking for his old power point.
Enjoy the season. See you next year.
