News & Notes April 4, 2017
 
Boots & Shoes   $35 Great job Wolf Koch & Russ Spitzer
50/50 - $76  No winner today
 Student Guests - Carly Hansen - SHS,     Lakin Waldschmidt - NHS and  Maddie Ferris - NHS
Eye shared with us weekend.  On Sunday she moved to her new Host Family - the Conklins.
Program -     Tom Jensen introduced Jim King, Jr. President of IFH Group.   Jim gave an interesting presentation about the history of his business started by his grandfather and father and the evolution to where the company is today.   The employee population in their company has grown to about 200 people between their company in Rock Falls and their recent acquisition in the state of Washington.  Some of the product they make:  cylinders used on the space shuttles, Hydraulic and fuel tanks, boxes used inside the Red Box Machines and Coinstar coin machines. They do custom work for several big name companies.   It was good to hear about the growth and success of a company founded in Rock Falls.   Thanks Jim.

Ongoing Reminders

1.  Please remember the Four-way Test when directing comments and questions to speakers and other members. a) Is it the truth? b) Is it fair to all concerned? c) Will it build good will and better friendships? d) Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
 
2.  Once you have your guest speaker lined up for the meeting program, please email Carolyn Spencer at carolyn@hospicerockriver.org so that it can be included in the eBulletin.  Also, please ask the speaker to stay as close as possible to the microphone when speaking.
 
3.  Please park at the YWCA or by Grummert's, not in a Sterling Federal Bank lot.
 
4.  Think of who you can invite to a meeting as a potential new member.
 
5.  If you have to leave early from the meeting, please apologize in advance to the speaker so that he/she does not think that you were walking out on him/her.
 
6.  Please sit closer to the front of the room than to the back.  And try to sit with the new members whenever you can....get to know them....make them feel welcome.
 
7.  Whenever you host a student guest, as you are chatting with him/her over lunch, please tell them about our club.  Tell them what Rotary is all about.  Tell them what to expect during the meeting;  the opening, fun & frolic, boots & shoes, etc.   Tell him/her about local and international service projects that Rotary is involved with.   Make them feel welcome.
