Announcements
 
Bill offered thanks for all who are doing something for our Club, "how much so many people are doing to keep this Club running well".
 
Tom McHugh and Elya offered tax planning suggestions when giving to the HR Rotary Foundation:
  • Write a check - gift as cash to HRRF
  • Portfolio of appreciated securities - make a gift, able to take marketable securities
  • Those taking required distributions may direct custodian to send directly to HRRF
Bob Larson auctioned off a bottle of French red wine and offered that as the 4th way to contribute to the Foundation. Bill was this week's Foundation contributor.
 
Christmas Singers Needed! Bob Larson is requesting help with the Holiday Party; he knows we have several male singers but where are those lady "closet/shower singers"? He's working on an awesome musical show and needs every singers help ASAP. He hopes to have some mixed quartets, maybe an octet to do some great music for the party. If you have something you want to sing let Bob know. Time is of the essence and all singers need to contact Bob NOW to allow a few rehearsals prior to the party. Ideally, 8-10 singers would be perfect.  bob@janusmortgage.com
