Spring
I saw the first robin the other day. Baseball is on TV again. We just celebrated another Rural/Urban dinner, an event timed to coincide with the arrival of warmer weather, just before the farmers hit the fields to begin another planting season. Despite the “April Fools” joke of a snow storm last weekend, I am convinced that it must be Spring!
As Spring arrives and the lawns start to green, we feel invigorated and renewed; it seems like the year begins again.
New members renew Rotary clubs just like the passing of the seasons renews our faith that flowers will bloom again. The original four men who began the organization in 1905 witnessed its growth to over 2,000 members in only 20 years. Could they have possibly ever imagined that today there would be 34,282 clubs with a membership over 1.2 million?
As we look forward to Spring, we celebrate the new members of our club and new Rotarians throughout the world; they bring new ideas and challenge established ways, fostering change while honoring the value of established practice.
Rotary, like the seasons, is always in change and it’s our new members, the women and men who understand the value of Service Above Self, who will continue to drive Rotary forward and ensure that it remains relevant even as the seasons, and the years, pass.
We look forward to your contributions in the years to come.

We were delighted to have AG Dianne Yundt induct our newest members, Diane O'Shea and AJ Ravichandran who were sponsored by Linda Schuyler. Diane's classification is Educator-Home Economics and AJ's is Retail Banking.

On April 15, 2019 Rotary Foundation chair, Doug Goudy, assisted Linda Schuyler with the presentation of Paul Harris recognition pins to Ray Bennett, Pierre Chateauvert and Mark Oliver. Linda Schuyler shared her Foundation points to award Mark Oliver with his first Paul Harris Fellow and by transferring 250 points to Ray Bennett and Pierre Chateauvert who already participate in the 'Every Rotarian Every Year' program were elevated to the next Paul Harris levels and received multiple Paul Harris pins.
New Members and New Paul Harris Recipients
The Rotary Club of St. Marys hosted the Area 3 meeting in conjunction with their regular meeting. President Claire Sherwin sponsored 3 new members, Peter Quigley, Toni McLean and Christina Silveira with DG Jim Schlatman presiding over the inductions. The Club presented Daryl McClure with a Paul Harris and Linda Schuyler shared her Paul Harris points to award Lucie Stephens and Heather Ellis with their first Paul Harris recognitions. Each Area 3 president gave a summary of what their club has been doing. In DG Jim’s words ‘What an active Area. Truly people of action.’ AG Dianne Yundt gave news from the District and chaired the Area 3 part. A memorable and enjoyable evening. A few photos follow:
This has been a challenging Spring for our purple crocuses this year. Lots of blooms in the lower part of the waterfall but the lack of sunshine and cold weather did not allow them to come into full bloom. Unfortunately the upper portion of the waterfall never blossomed. In fact, the ground appears to be very compacted, I'm not sure we will see blossoms again in the upper portion. Charlie, Gary and I have taken pictures at different times during last week.

Maternal and child care is one of Rotary's six areas of focus. Rotary makes health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger. This video shows how Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, mobile health clinics and new mother training to help prevent and protect themselves and their children from disease.
