The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do
Last Thursday out club had Dr. Jeffrey Carter from the Webster University speaking about the music department at Webster and the challenges not only he and the department are facing but also the challenges of the University and schools in general. Due to the Covid situation he was not able to have the students perform but hopefully we can get them live at the MAC next year.
This coming Thursday will be a program on the Rotary Foundation. Rick Tinucci and Linda Puchbauer will give us an update on the Rotary Foundation.
The next meeting on November 19th will be available only via Zoom.
Each week I will highlight something about Rotary that all Rotarians should know or be aware of.
THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
In view of the annual turnover of Rotary leadership each year, special effort is required to provide the 27,000 club leaders with appropriate instruction for the tasks they will assume. The annual district assembly is the major leadership training event in each Rotary district of the world.
The district assembly offers motivation, inspiration, Rotary information and new ideas for club officers, directors and key committee chairmen of each club. Some of the most experienced district leaders conduct informative discussions on all phases of Rotary administration and service projects. The assembly gives all participants valuable new ideas to make their club more effective and interesting. Usually eight to ten delegates from each club are invited to attend the training session.
Another important feature of a district assembly is a review by the incoming district governor of the program theme and emphasis of the new RI president for the coming year. District goals and objects are also described and plans are developed for their implementation.
The success of each Rotary club is frequently determined by the club’s full representation and participation in the annual district assembly. (24)

Ageless Quotes – Age 58 to 66 (continued from last week)
I’ve learned that making a living is not the
same thing as making a life. Age 58
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second
chance. Age 62
I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it
will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the
needs of others, your work, meeting new people,
and doing the very best you can, happiness will find
you. Age 65
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something
with kindness, I usually make the right decision. Age 66
