This message is coming to you early so that your club president and e-newsletter chair, Cindy Levin, have a quiet post-Thanksgiving Friday this year.
It is with gratitude that I thank Sandy Mortenson for sending me the following message from our Big West Rotary International Director, Vicki Puliz (Nevada). I have had the pleasure of meeting Vicki at past RI events. She is an amazingly active Rotarian and an inspirational speaker. With the world in a state of flux, and with all the challenges our club is currently facing, Vicki's message rings true for all of us right now.
Big West News - November 2022
With Gratitude…
A message from Director Vicki Puliz
Rotary members take on tough issues. Top of the list is the effort to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. Another tough issue is world peace. You could make a list of tough issues that you, your club, or your district are addressing to create positive lasting change--across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves. Mental health, supporting our environment, clean water, and empowering girls would be just a few.
Thank you for being part of Rotary, and for your willingness to look beyond your own comfort to help others, and to make our world better. Thankfully, Rotary members have the energy, the capacity, and the drive to not accept the way things are. Thankfully, we can leverage our efforts with personal connections throughout our Rotary network, and with support of Our Rotary Foundation, which we highlight during this month of November.
You imagine a better world. You imagine Rotary. And then, you take action.
Thank you.
I wish you all a safe, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving holiday (don't forget to get out and exercise!). My Thanksgiving holiday will be one of reflection this year as I think of how each and every one of you have supported me through these challenging months since I took over the club presidency. I am truly thankful to call Summit Rotarians my family and am deeply grateful for everything you do for me, our club, and our community. I simply could not do this without all of you. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
Happy Thanksgiving holiday!
Yours in Rotary,
Joan Tilden

We're pleased to announce that we have been able to add the Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund to Amazon.
What this means...by following this link (https://smile.amazon.com/ch/84-1215233), and selecting the Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund as your Charity, Amazon will donate a percentage of every one of your purchases to us! This is a very easy way to get additional funds for our projects. If all of our members select this option, we imagine there will be a nice little contribution to help our club!
Instead of going to amazon.com when you make purchases, go to smile.amazon.com and you'll see us listed there!

All mail from users with that domain are allowed.

According to internet: Gmail offers an option to add specific addresses or domains as "safe" so they aren't automatically marked as spam, known as a "Whitelist." Your Whitelists must be managed and set by you. If you want to accept all email sent from a specific address, follow these instructions:
