Even though Johnny Smooth was at the meeting, he left the cards at home and there was no 50/50 draw.

 Linda had a thank you message from Janet McKelvey, which follows

 

 

Roger shared that a Rotary member that was stuck overseas has finally got home (didn't get the name)

 

Paul T thought it was good news that we were all together - Amen brother!

President Heidi  let us know that there is a club assembly on 9/3 to discuss the budget - more details to follow

 

President Heidi also shared that we will be at the Coping Center in Blair again on 9/13 from 8 am until noon for more gardening and grounds maintenance. 

 

Mike Thomas (via email) updated the group on this year's Roses Campaign and some of the changes.  See his email for more information, but the cut off date is 9/13 at 5 pm and all orders will be done on-line this year

 

Paul T announced the opportunity for continued fellowship on Thursday afternoons by joining him and others for a round of golf (having played with him and others, I use the term "golf" loosely!)

Job openings:

Jeff Introduced our speaker; Julie Watts from Lang's.

 

Julie talked to the group about the Science of Happiness, including our own Happiness Scale exercise.  Based on the Happiness scale she discussed, I have some work to do....

 

It was a very powerful talk and rather than try to reproduce what she said, I had Julie send me her presentation.  I cant figure out how to attached to this bulletin so I will email it separately.

 

However, if you were not there, I have a little exercise for you....Clench your fist real tight...notice that you stopped breathing?  Now close your eyes, relax and breath into the clenched fist (figuratively).  Notice the difference in the fist?  Pretty cool huh?

 

Linda had a very heartfelt thanks for Julie...and so do I!
