Announcements
Tristam Johnson is working with noon club on dairy project and also people working on cards for nursing home residents. Drop Tristam a note if you’d like to participate. Josh Traeger and Ayla have been volunteering to help people through Love Brigade who’ve been victims of hate crimes, so he encourages folks to help with Tristam.
Sadie: scholarship committee will meet next Wed at noon via Zoom. If you’re interested in helping, reach out to Sadie.
Tom Franks: let him know if you need help updating your email and profile in Club Runner.
Mona: Another great overflow shelter meal. We’ve been asked to do one in June, shelter at hotel still happening for a month. Justin agreed to cook. Looking for entertainment items like books, etc.
Toni: 3 or 4 people dropped off money at the bank drive-through (if you do, put note on envelope saying “Please give to Toni.”) Need cash donations for overflow shelter meal, and for brags, etc.
Lisa: can the club provide any funds to support the project she’s involved in in West Chesterfield feeding seniors each week? She’ll follow up with Jim and Turner. Or email Lisa to get the address of Dot, who’s running it, if you wish to help.
Jim: shout-out to Cindy, who insists on paying for PETS (President training) which is essentially a donation of several hundred dollars for the club, which usually pays.
Dues invoice emails going out soon. We’re working on how to pay electronically for any club payments/contributions. Requesting a voluntary payment of $5 per zoom meeting if you can, and the $1 brag payments. Today is 9th week. Leave a note to Toni saying what it’s for. Dan joined the meeting at this point, his first Zoom attendance. Yay! But then he left.
We don’t know what changeover party will look like. Will volunteered his field; we’ll see then if that’s feasible or if we have to do it virtually.
Debra: She and Mona did a garden session and bought hydrangea. Setting up another work party for weeding; she’ll send out a sheet on Sign-Up Genius. Please help for an hour.
Toni and Jim will talk about a final goodbye for Student Rotarians.
Kevin: Hamilton Farm is giving away raw milk they’d otherwise have to dump. Bring your own container.

Jim: $5 for illness update. Has been sick for a month with Covid-like symptoms, awful. He’s mostly recovered. Lots of tests, nothing clear. Feels super supported by everyone.
Josh Treager: for Rob Spzljla. (Or something like that). Rob’s been working hard on disc golf course. I think Josh said he’s been helping too.
Katya: Hair salons in NH are reopened, so you can go there if you need it. The Stage restaurant was opened, which was surprising.
Erin: Finished the website for local coordinated efforts to help (BAMA). It’s bamavt.com. Someone will do an explanation on sheet mulching, via Zoom. Email Erin if interested.
Deb: She met with a woman from Edible Brattleboro who looked at our Rotary garden and maybe we could plant a cherry tree or something for pick-your-own.
Cindy: Brag for BAMA (Erin’s group) as a good resource. Also bragged for ongoing battle: Cindy vs. birdfeeder-attacking squirrel. Squirrel mocking her.
