Tuesday, the 26th, was meeting day for the Jefferson County (Madras) Club. President Teresa Martin and Foundation Chair Meg Cummings arrived early. Their meeting spot, the Wild Winds Station, has a special Rotary menu just for them.

The club has 30ish members, and can boast about 50% of their members are 50 years old and under! The camaraderie in this group was astounding – everyone knew everyone! Conversation included the Flat Fire, their kiddos, and birthdays. Getting younger members is something we can all aspire! Assistant Governor Keever Henry brought them a new podium banner and two cases of customized District 5110 WINE!

President Teresa had 5 awards to pass out: Wendi Monroe – a three-year member who has already served as President. Bart Platt, who invigorated the club Facebook page.

We spent the meeting brainstorming and discussing exciting new ideas for a fundraiser/event that the club could hold. They could replicate the Redmond Club’s Daddy-Daughter Dance, or do something water-related at the Kaneeta pools.
