ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Literacy Chairman Diana Meckley announced a Thursday ZOOM meeting for the committee where they will develop new projects to involve all members.

The ROTARY CLUB OF JAMESTOWN desperately needs a new treasurer effective July 1 (but it would be nice to work with Russ Webb for a few weeks before that). Please search your soul and see if you can take on this important position and help our club.

Jason Stronz sent our Club one of the 100th anniversary golf green flags from Moon Brook Country Club, which our Club founded. It is beautiful and will have a place of honor in our historical office.

PAUL HARRIS FELLOW PRESENTATION: Jake Schrantz was presented a Paul Harris Fellow due to the generosity of member Gail Donus. Please watch the video of his surprise presentation here.

HAPPY BUCKS:

$5 from Randy to honor Jake and National Women’s Day and all the hardworking women supporting our community.

$5 from Stacey in honor of John Silo, Jake’s dear friend who passed away just before their Polio fundraising bike ride.

$5 from Tim Edborg in honor of Jake. John Silo, Tim and Jake skied and rode bikes together.
