BE PROUD TO BE A ROTARIAN
ESPECIALLY A ROTARIAN IN THE ROTARY CLUB OF ST. LOUIS
The Four-Way Test 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?

This is a perfect time to think about joining a committee. I will tell you from personal experience that you will get so much more out of your membership by being involved with one or even two committees. If you need help with ideas on committees to join, ask one of the Board Members.
Also, a BIG THANK YOU to all of this year’s Board Members and Committee Chairs. This Club would not be able to run efficiently without you.
Being a Rotarian means serving your community, networking, making friends, and building international relationships. Through Rotary, you have the opportunity to expand your leadership skills and achieve your goals. Get involved in a committee, sit with someone different every week, when ask to serve on as a Board position treat it as a special invitation to not only serve but also enlighten yourself. You will find you will gain much more personally than you can only dream of.
We had one of our Premier Programs of the year last Thursday. We were able to help 16 organizations that are instrumental in helping out our community, especially groups that help children find their way. Without these groups many would go without food, books, clothing and leadership. THANK YOU for all you do and great job by the Community Service Grant Committee on your efforts.
This Thursday Ken Weintraub will make a return to our club talking about the History of Sports Business in St. Louis. Unfortunately, Ken’s program was interrupted on his last zoom visit due to a bad internet connection. Since we are by that, we are welcoming Ken back in person to give his presentation.

From the Desk of Linda Puchbauer, District 6060 Rotary Foundation Chair
Our Rotary Foundation work has continued unabated during the pandemic, and there is still time for you to support the work that The Rotary Foundation is doing. It is not just the about the money, but what good the money can do. In many cases you will be helping someone who you will never meet and will not have any way to repay you for your kindness. Giving is easy, and if you or your club needs any
help getting it done reach out to Linda Puchbauer.
Pass on information about our club and about Rotary to your friends, send the Pepperbox to them, Like and Share on Social Media. We really do have a great club, let’s not be afraid to tell the WORLD.
As we come out of the COVID 19 this year, let’s try to work adding to our membership. If everyone just asks one close friend or business associate, we will be able to grow in 2021.
We are continuing to work to make the zoom presentations better every week. Please let Joan know if you have and suggestions and she will pass them on to the MAC who is handling the production of the video.
ZOOM BROADCAST WILL CONTINUE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT MAKE THE MEETINGS IN PERSON.
READ THE PEPPERBOX
PLEASE CONTINUE TO WORK AT BEING HEALTHY DURING THESE TRYING TIMES AND ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU THINK IS GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
