Last Meeting of the Summer
Posted by Vicki Rowe
Gary Gray presided as president in Keith's absence. He reminded us to be selling tickets for the fundraiser. He also informed us that 316 letters have gone out requesting sponsorship for the event and asked if anyone knew of a company or individual who might want to be a sponsor, to contact him.
Gary and Vicki asked everyone to continue with the visiting gnome project. We will try to get a list out of which clubs still need to be visited in the near future.
Tom Benson informed us of a fellowship event. We can all attend the final Astros game of the season with other District 5890 Rotarians on Sept. 27th. If you are interested in going, please sign up online or contact Tom, who will also be contacting you individually. The price of a ticket is $13.00, but some snacks and a private room are included.
Rev. Justin Lindstrom provided a wonderful program about the Five Love Languages, which can apply to all aspects of your life. He told us the five languages are Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Giving and Receiving of Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. Justin explained each one and showed us ways that the knowledge of your and your spouses preferences can strenthen your relationship. Also, realizing which type of language is most relevant for your fellow Rotarians can facilitate communication within our club. For example, if a member most seeks Words of Affirmation, he or she will be gratified by appreciative words, whereas, if he or she most values Acts of Service, then he or she will feel more appreciated by your participation in a project. Justin sent us home with surveys to complete for us and our spouses. All in all, this was a very helpful and fun presentation.
