Crawford County COA Needs Drivers
The Crawford County Commission on Aging needs Meals on Wheels drivers!  Drivers would deliver meals to the homes of elderly residents in need in Crawford County.  If you are a licensed driver, can pass a criminal background check, and have a friendly smile, you qualify!  If interested contact the COA at 989-348-7123.
Annual Election Meeting
The Grayling Rotary Club annual meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016.  
 
In accordance with the club's bylaws, an election of officers shall occur during the annual meeting.  The officers to be elected by ballot are: 
 
  1. Director - A 3 year term commencing July 1, 2017
  2. President Elect ('17) to become effective immediately.
A proposal to modify the club's attendance policy was approved by the Board of Directors on October 17, 2016.  The proposal will be presented to the membership for approval at the annual meeting.  A majority voice vote of the membership quorum (1/3 of the membership) is required for acceptance.  The existing attendance policy requires an aggregate 60% attendance record to sustain club membership in any 12 month period.  The ByLaw modification "encourages 50% attendance" at meetings and activities.
 
The Club's committee assignment list is enclosed with this bulletin.  The committees will also be updated in ClubRunner by the end of this week.  The first name listed is intended to act as chairperson for the respective committee.  Please note that a brief written quarterly report of the committee's activity is desired.  The report should be sent to the Board of Directors for information and deliberation.
 
The Board has continued to proceed to support a "major project" at Hanson Hills consisting of a proposed 40'x20'x10' pavilion.  Bids are pending as of October 17, 2016.  The next Board meeting is scheduled for noon on Monday November 21, 2016.

Speaker Program

Members are responsible for providing speakers for upcoming meetings.  The list is done alphabetically, with each member providing at least one speaker per year (at our current membership level).  As soon as you have a speaker and a topic lined up please report it to either the President, the Secretary, or the Bulletin Editor.  We will publish the next few speakers in the bulletin and on the website and Facebook (if no speaker has been reported to the club the name of the person responsible for finding the speaker will appear there).  Hopefully having our speaker schedule published will provide interest for guests to come to our meetings.  If you have any questions please direct them to Bill McNamara.
