scott.jpgThe Guest Speaker for the upcoming meeting 11-13-25 is Scott Flanagan.Scott and his wife, Jacque, are the co-founders of Compassion Planet. The vision for the Compassion Planet began in their late twenties, when they welcomed a young man aging out of foster care into their apartment to help him avoid homelessness.
 Meeting Welcome

 President Kerry’s music, trivia, facts, and slogans continue into the 60’s. Alas, there was no surprise visit from the Beatles. The flag salute was led by Janet Osterhout, and the 4 Way Test was led by Jan Hutchinson. Kerry then welcomed to the meeting 31 members and 6 guests: LHS Students of the Month: Austin Tate (with Mom Sarah Tate) and Abigail Rohas, and Counselor Misty Alarcon, Frank Furr-Rotarian (Art), Jocelin Freeman.

Events and Committee Announcements
 Lindsey announced November 8th is the first Adopt-A Street cleanup day. She will be sending an email with the details. She also mentioned the "Christmas in Beerman Plaza" on December 20 has been added to the calendar. Claire gave information that starting in January, the 2nd Thursday of the month will be an evening meeting. Members have expressed that many prospective members have not joined Rotary because they are unable to attend during the lunch hour. Bryan has 3 members ready for membership induction and by the end of November the club will have 75 members. Clark asked that anyone who has not yet paid their dues to please do so ASAP. Art shared that Meade Fischer has a new book published and has published several previously. Soon to be inducted Frank Furr, shared that he just returned from selecting competitors for the 2026 Winter Olympics for the sliding sports. (If this is incorrect please provide corrections at your next meeting Frank.)
Guest Speaker
Guest speaker, RI Foundation Chair Art Deardorff, gave a very thorough review of how the RI Foundation works. Rather than writing about his presentation we suggest that members who were not present use the link to his presentation from his email to members on Friday, November 7th.  The link is also located on the right side photo area.
