President Sarah Palmer called the meeting to order at 8:15 AM

• Sarah reminded us of Rotary's Areas of Focus, which she will highlight throughout this year.

Four-Way Test - Roy Porfido reminded us of the four questions that guide Rotarians

Thought of the Day - Beth McCormick shared the blessings of gratitude. She noted that grateful people are more resilient in face of hardship. By recognizing what’s still good and meaningful, we can anchor ourselves in hope instead of drowning in a difficult moment. Gratitude is a choice. Let's help others to choose it.

Joke of the Day - Eric Dillie shared some Rotary-themed chuckles. Why aren't Rotarians gossipers? Because they follow the 4-way test, not the 4-way texts. And did you hear about the new Rotary club forming - the Yeast County Club, because they will rise to the occasion!
