John Chandler opened the meeting by calling for Bob Cardinal to lead us in the Pledge and Inspirational Minute. The Inspirational Minute suggested we have 86,400 seconds a day in a bank account that we cannot get back or save till tomorrow!  So, spend it wisely today.

President John discussed the upcoming meeting and gave a brief overview of the Feb. 5^th meeting with Rotary International President-elect Mark Maloney. 176 people attended the meeting. 16 attended at Rondo, 18 attended the Cathedral, and 50 for the Q/A after the meeting. We awarded numerous Paul Harris Fellowships and recognized one Major Donor!

For this meeting’s Club Conversation, we broke out into table discussions. Topics were: RYLA, Youth Exchange, Nagasaki, Como Park Tree Planting, Cleveland Circle, Dictionaries, and Education Day. We each went to 2 tables of our choice and Interest. What was discussed at the tables was reported back to Deb Katzmark via email. Additionally, Meaghan Johansen will be holding a Human Trafficking meeting at InterContinental at 11:30 AM on Feb. 19 for anyone wishing to get involved.

Reminder - there will be no Club Meeting on Feb. 19^th. The next Club meeting will be Feb. 26th and, barring a government shutdown, the topic will be about the Mississippi River dams "From Rapids to Reservoirs and Back Again?". 

Meeting was adjourned at 1:15 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
