Hybrid Meetings to Resume May 18 at River Club of Mequon
We have seen the announcements that the club will meet virtually until further notice for what feels like far too long.  Further notice has arrived at last! The club's leadership is thrilled to announce the return of in-person/virtual hybrid meetings on May 18, 2021 which will take place at the River Club of Mequon and via Zoom. 
 
Masks are required. We are a club with a variety of many members who come from different backgrounds.  Not everyone has had the opportunity to be vaccinated fully yet, and of course there is debate as to pretty much everything surrounding COVID 19. We are working hard under the circumstances to keep the club inclusive and accessible to all, and as such are offering this hybrid meeting option for anyone not comfortable meeting in person and everyone not comfortable wearing a mask.  If you are a part of either of these groups, you are encouraged to attend the virtual meeting.
 
A common theme of Jeff Wagner and Steve Scaffidi asks the question "are we going to wear masks forever?" The answer for our club is most certainly no. However, for the time being, the answer is yes. The board has consistently watched the rates of infection in our zip codes, and it is clear that COVID 19 is still something that needs to be considered when meeting in large groups. The board will continue to evaluate and make decisions on an ongoing basis, but for the time being, we request that everyone be respectful of the decision. 
 
We will not hold a meeting on June 1st in observation of Memorial Day, and the meeting scheduled for June 29th has been moved to 5PM at the American Legion for our Changing of the Guard, which will undoubtedly be a roaring good time.

WOMEN YES!
Rotary around the world coasted along for
over 75 years being an all men’s organization
as clubs flourished around the world
especially on the Asian rim.
In about 1978, a club in California had
the gall to admit women. It was kicked out of
Rotary because it was against the rules. The
issue went to the courts. The Supreme Court
decided against this form of gender
discrimination in 1987. Rotary let women
join. A half dozen years later, there were
over 20 thousand women in Rotary.
About the same time, the T-M Rotary
admitted three women. This step was not met
with total agreement by the membership, but
my recollection is that the clear majority of
members favored the move.
We as a club and international service
organization are blessed to now experience
the talents and good will of “the other half”
of the world’s population.

Cat Math
 
Math is hard without all the information.
Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Six."
Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven!"
Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!"
Johnny: "Because I've already got a  cat!"
