Our regular Friday noon lunch meetings will be held on the second and fourth Fridays of the month at the Ponderosa. We will not meet on the first, third, or fifth Fridays. We will not meet on Nov. 27 or Dec. 25 due to the holidays. Our next meetings are Nov. 13, and Dec. 11. Since we will be inside, please follow the current State of Idaho and CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing. We will work with our Rotary District to provide a Zoom link to the meeting.
We received a $300 check from our Rotary District 5080 for the State Hospital North Cemetery Project.
James handed out a draft budget for 2020-21. We will have to be very conservative in our spending due to limited income as a result of the Covid situation. We discussed the club’s annual contribution to the Foundation Scholarship Fund and will reassess the amount needed as we get closer to granting the scholarships.
We received a request from our Rotary District 5080 to provide them with information about how we are operating doing the pandemic. James will provide the information. It will be interesting to see what all of the clubs in our district are doing.
James will check with Bob Stifler of the Lifeline Food Pantry regarding volunteer staffing needs.
