Welcome New Members!
 
Welcome to new members, Jeanne Borawski, Andrea Evans Zoia and Gabe Moraga, who were inducted at our Membership Open House on January 15.  Membership Chair Lisa Gibbs and a team including, John Douglass, Brian Tobin and Mike Collins, organized a very successful Open House at RCTV.  We had 11 additional potential new members attend and it was a great time.
 
Jeanne is a well known volunteer in town.  She serves on the School Committee, but will be stepping down from that elected position in March at the end of her second term.  Jeanne is a former teacher and was very involved in the planning of the hugely successful Reading 375 festivities.
 
Andrea is an employment law attorney, with her office in Boston.  Andrea is coming is as a  Service Member and as has said she is looking to become involved in community service in the town.  Andrea is the mother of two children ages 3 and 18 months.
 
Gabe is the branch manager of Salem Five on Walkers Brook Drive.  He is taking Shelley Murray's place as Rotary rep from the bank.  Gabe has been a regular attendee of lunch meetings and has already make the Food Bank Run and spun some cotton candy at the Festival of Trees.
 
Please join with us in welcoming these bright, new faces and make them feel at home in our club.  
Upcoming Schedule
Please take note of our upcoming schedule of meetings.  These dates are listed on the website Calendar.  (Here's a reminder that you can subscribe to the calendar and get it on your phone events are posted.)
 
No meeting on January 20 (Martin Luther King Day).
 
Our next lunch meeting is January 27.
 
February's lunch meetings are:  February 3 and 10.  No meeting on February 17 (Presidents' Day).
 
February's Evening Meeting is February 26 at Lee Kimball.  At 5:30 we will have a Dementia Friendly Reading presentation from Dementia Friendly Reading and DKJ Foundation.  At 6:30 we will socialize.  Please make every effort to attend.  Reading Rotary is becoming the first volunteer organization in Town to become certified as Dementia Friendly. 
 
These schedule quirks were necessary due to holidays and school vacation.
 
Note that Board Meetings are scheduled for January 21 and February 12 at 5:30 at Northern Bank.  All members are welcome to attend.
 
The Polar Plunge is on February 29.  Please donate to our team or one of our Plungers if you are not going in yourself.  I also encourage everyone to attend the Plunge itself.  It is a hugely inspiring event with so many Rotarians there.
Polar Plunge on Leap Day
 
The Polar Plunge will be held on February 29.  We have 3 Rotarians registered so far.  It's not too late to sign up.
 
 
Please spread the word, plunge and donate to this exhilarating but freezing cause.
 
Polio eradication has been Rotary International's signature global initiative for many years and with the final push and partnership with the Gates Foundation, we have the opportunity to get over the goal line finally.  Remember that your donation is matched 2 to 1 by Bill and Melinda Gates.  A $100 donation becomes $300.
 
I also encourage all, even if you're not plunging, to attend the event.  The energy and enjoyment of so many Rotarians (yes, even beyond Reading) will inspire you.
