February 22nd
This day is probably best known at being the Birthday of our country’s 1st President, George Washington. George was one of great leaders and we celebrate his birthday and all of our Presidents on the 3rd Monday of February each year.
Did you know that some also observe the following Holidays annually on February 22nd?
National Be Humble Day (Some need this more than others); National Cook a Sweet Potato Day (Does that mean you should eat it too or just cook it?); National Play more cards day (Does this included our 50/50?); World Thinking Day (Just think about that a moment!!); National Margarita Day (Reminds me of Los Lupes and a few other Mexican restaurants); National Walking the Dog Day (Always a good idea especially with your best friend)
Hope you enjoyed

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do
⦁ Is it the truth?
⦁ Is it fair to all concerned?
⦁ Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
⦁ Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
DEFINITELY WORDS TO LIVE OUR LIVES BY

PROGRAMS
Tom Ackerman, Sports Director at KMOX radio was our speaker giving a program on Sports in St. Louis in 2021. He covered that gamut of the sports scene and gave his insight on the local coaches, players and teams. Tom also gave some of his real life experiences and how he got to where he is today as only the 3rd Sports Director at the mighty KMOX.
This coming Thursday we have Missy Kelley, Sr Vice President of Greater S. Louis, Inc as our speaker. She will be co-presenting with Sarah Arnosky, a colleague of Missy. They will give an overview of Greater St. Louis, Inc and their mission of inclusive economic growth anchored by a strong urban core. They will the give highlights of the new 10-year development plan for Downtown St. Louis.
I know I have said this before – but you really do not want to miss this one. They are such a vital part of St. Louis being strong once again.

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.

BE PROUD TO BE A ROTARIAN
ESPECIALLY A ROTARIAN IN THE ROTARY CLUB OF ST. LOUIS
As we have consistently done with our Club and our Meetings, we will continue to follow the guidelines set by the City of St. Louis and the Missouri Athletic Club (our meeting site) while having a safe environment.

Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service
