Jan 8 - Announcements

Good Resolutions – What made you feel good in 2024?

President Shirley quoted several ways for “How to Future-Proof Your Happiness in the New Year”. She then asked what members did last year that made them happy and that they’d repeat in the new year:
- Shirley—enjoying Early Act First Knight
- Simon Garza—attending Andrew Boccelli concert
- Lisa Killough—having experiential events such as concerts with neighbors
- Steve Ross—Asking someone to Rotary. He sold his car recently and has asked the salesman to Rotary
