This Week's Program (Mar 3): Retired Rotarians, The Stories You May Have Never Heard

Before live streaming, email, and cell phones, Rotary was a way for the business community to conduct business.

This week we'll meet some Rotarians who most of us have just known as retired. What did they build in our community? What was Rotary like when they first joined?

Join us for a special panel conversation featuring Art Knox, Jim Mastera and Dean Settle, guided by a special guest facilitator, as we pull back the curtain on the careers, leadership lessons and Rotary experiences that shaped them AND our Club.

This is not just a trip down memory lane. It’s perspective. It’s wisdom. It’s building connection across generations.

If you’ve ever wondered how Rotary has changed, or what has never changed, this is your chance to hear it firsthand.

Whether you’ve been here 40 years or a few weeks, you belong here.

Happy Birthday Rotarians! March Birthdays
This Tuesday during our weekly meeting, we're celebrating our Rotarians with January birthdays. Join us at the birthday table up front and enjoy a piece of cake. Happy birthday, Rotarians!

Rotary 14: Member Basics

We will be launching a monthly session designed to help members navigate the systems, structure, and rhythms of the Rotary 14 community. The goal is to support new members as they get oriented, while giving longtime Rotarians a refresher to the basics! This meeting takes place directly following the weekly meeting and is expected to have about 20 minutes of content.

Change in Member Accounts

Notice: Members can no longer hold money in their individual member ClubRunner accounts. 

The ClubRunner update involved a lot changes regarding the financial side of membership accounts and club invoicing. In the past, members were able to make a larger payment toward their account and use it toward upcoming lunch and event expenses. The Club was also able to credit members in their accounts if their checks were made for larger than any invoiced amount. We are no longer able to do that in the system.

If you have credits in your account from things such as paying processing fees for dues even though you paid with a check or from using the previous system of holding a balance in your account, Lauren has already notified you of how those were transferred to lunch credits.

To correct member balances, invoices for lunches may show up as your account and say “unpaid.” If your member balance at the top of your account says “0” please leave the invoice unpaid. Moving forward all payments will need to be applied to specific invoices and checks will need to be made out to the exact amount in the invoices.

If you would like to pay ahead for lunches, we'll help you shift to our lunch punch cards ($100 for 6 meals).

Please reach out to info@rotary14.org if you have any concerns or questions.
