More information will be posted on the Club’s Website, and anyone interested in helping out with this year’s flight or knows a potential veteran or guardian can e-mail Rotarian Jordan Plaster at james_plasterjr@ml.com. 

On Tuesday 3/19/13 we will hove our meeting off-site at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. Mark it on your calendar!

Clark Swail gave a Director’s Report on Membership. He addressed President Leitner’s goal for the year of “Plus One” on Membership, and we are currently ahead for the year. Also Rules of membership were addressed and unfortunately , some members were lost due to attendance and/or payment of dues – but this is fair for all. We have also recruited new classifications per the goal, and Clark noted that if you have had a job change that will affect your classification – please notify Liz Obradovich for a reclassification. Lastly we have a goal of recruiting out of Rotaract whenever possible.
 

One activity that is part of our Adopt a School partnership with Northside High School is the Student of the Month Program. Two students are chosen by the faculty each month based on improvements in their school work, an act of kindness, and outstanding performance. In years past, we have hosted the students of the month at one of our Rotary meetings. However, since the school is one-half an hour drive away and our meeting lasts about an hour, this took two hours out of their school day. This year, they asked if we could host a luncheon near their school twice a year to honor the students of the month. On Wednesday, February 27th, I hosted the first of these at Jabos Pizza Parlor near their school. See below for a picture.
