The race that is summer in Alaska has started. I hope you have your running shoes on, your to-do list in hand and are ready to hit all those projects and fun things that compete for our attention this time of year. In the midst of the busy season, I hope all of you take time to enjoy all the reasons you live in Alaska.
Still needed on May 15: At least two more Rotary volunteers to help with traffic/pedestrian flow at the annual Safe and Healthy Kids Fair from noon-2 p.m. this Saturday at Homer High School. These are outdoor positions, rain or shine. There are plenty of COVID-safe protocols in place for event, including it’s all outdoors; there will be mandatory masking; it’s shorter than in past years; there will be COVID screening at the entrance; and there will be generous space between booths. Many thanks to Vivian and Clyde for volunteering!
Rotarians will serve as friendly traffic directors for pedestrian flow, helping show participants the best way to get to where they need to be.
If you could let me know at Thursday’s meeting if you are available, it would be appreciated. As all of you know, among the great things about volunteering at these events is that not only do we help our community partners, but we also get to visit with each other and our neighbors who attend. I’m grateful the service and social aspects of Rotary are so tightly woven together it’s impossible to separate them.
Homer Steps Up Challenge: As of the morning of May 11, our team in the Homer Steps Up Challenge had logged 1,346,192 steps, with Sue Clardy leading our team of 12 with 97,070 steps. Way to go, Sue, and Team Rotary!
A reminder: Each year, Rotary District 5010 honors significant achievement and efforts by District Rotarians during the past year and remembers those who have passed. This will happen during a Zoom meeting that starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 13. (Spoiler alert: One of our members will be honored.)

Mr Kim Zook has been approved by the Board for proposed membership in the Rotary Club of Homer-Kachemak Bay. Proposed member form is attached. Please provide approval/disapproval comments NLT May 27, 2021. No response will be counted as approval. |
We do need SPEAKERS, GREETERS AND INVOCATORS to sign up!
We only NEED ONE Speaker each, for May and June. We need Greeters and Invocators for the same months.
Being a greeter is a great way to learn names and have a chance to say hi to everyone who comes to a meeting! And we all appreciate an interesting poem, saying, words to a song, etc. to inspire us for the day.
Thank you for helping us have a great meeting!
