Welcome to this week’s meeting of the eClub of the State of Jefferson.

Welcome to this week’s State of Jefferson Rotary eClub Meeting. 

First, I would like to apologize for not writing anything during my first week as President of the eClub.  Somehow, things got away from me, and then it was the 4^th, and who can concentrate on anything when there are constant firecrackers going off all through the week!

I want to start off by thanking Patti for her work as President during the last fiscal year.  I also appreciated her helping me get my up-and-coming presidency running with goals and other hoops I needed to jump through before July 1^st. I also appreciate the fact that Patti stepped up to the plate and volunteered to take over as the eClub’s Treasurer position for this next year.  Hurray Patti! 

I would also like to thank Past President Bob for continually supplying the invites to club members of meeting notifications and other events as they come up and would like to thank Secretary Jean for her help in keeping all of us on track and up to date on our projects.

At this time, I would like to thank Greg Brown for his past years as a member of our club.  We will miss you Greg, and maybe when things slow down for you, remember you will always be a welcome addition to our club.

I would like to welcome back Vesna Hopkins to our club, we are looking forward to having you participate in our meetings and other events again.  I would also like to introduce two new members; Steven Shimotakahara, and Allan Ledsma.  We are looking forward to getting to know you and hope to see you occasionally during our weekly Coffee Chats, which are held every Tuesday from noon to 12:30. Coffee Chat is a great way to meet other members and have informal chats about our daily lives.  

I have decided to keep the monthly board meetings to be held on the 4^th Thursday of each month at 8AM. Anyone is welcome to attend.

If you have not received your 2025/2026 dues yet, please let Patti know, and she will send that to you.  If anyone has any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone/text/email, I plan to be traveling off and on throughout the year and next, but I will always be available any time of day.

Enjoy the meeting! 

Yours in Rotary,
Jackie

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships.
The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
