| Next Meeting Time Changed for Presidential
Election!! November 02 7:00 pm The meeting on November 2 will begin at 7:00 pm instead of 6:30 pm. This time change is being made in an effort to allow members more time to vote if they are unable to do so before work or during the day. We will do our best to make this an abbreviated meeting and will then turn on the election coverage on the big screen TV. If you’ve already voted and you can stick around, please join us for this historic event. |

| Survey Says…Fun!! Family Feud Championship Recap If you weren’t at the Family Feud Championship, you missed the best Social Event of the year! Four teams of “families” battled it out for a chance to win cash and bragging rights and Felix Tinkov played an award-winning role as host, Richard Dawson. In the final round, The Fockers (Mike Roeder, Michelle Prescott, Sheona Richardson , Geoff Miller, Gidget Rangel, and the artist only known as Chad) demolished the Benatars for the title and immediately donated all their cash winnings to the TJ Homebuilding fund. The fund received $115 toward next year’s homes and everyone walked away feeling like winners. Special thanks to Felix for dressing in a wool suit and being himself and to Rose Kaiser for planning and hosting such a fun event. |

| Rotaract
& Rotary Trivia Rotaract History - Part 2 In 1927, Round Table clubs were founded in Great Britain and Ireland. Membership in Round Table clubs was open to young men ages 18 to 40, and by 1935, there more than 90 Round Table clubs existed. In November 1930, the first Apex club was formed in Geelong, Australia. Apex clubs grew rapidly, expanding to more than 20 clubs in just a few years. These clubs were sponsored by Rotary clubs, and were open to professionals and students between the ages of 18 and 35. Similar Rotary club-sponsored groups continued to spring up simultaneously and independently around the globe. Unisserve clubs in India, Orbis clubs in South America, Rotors clubs in South Africa, Paul Harris Circles in Europe, and Quadrant clubs in the United States are some of the best-known examples. Eventually, these clubs would provide the base for the future growth of Rotaract as the clubs adopted new names under the Rotaract program. |
