Welcome to another issue of our monthly bulletin! Find out who our upcoming speakers are, what we covered during the last month's meetings, and learn more about our the Rotary Club of Steubenville and Rotary International!
COMINGS AND GOINGS
Sorry to have John Mascio resign from membership. He hopes in the future that he will be able to return but his work schedule is busy right now and his children are demanding more of his time.
ROTARY MEETINGS
As all of you should know by now we are back to ZOOM only meetings until this surge in cases subsides or we are able to get a vaccine. Please keep those members in your prayers who have family members with Covid. We know it is taking a toll on all of us including a member that has also tested positive.
ZOOM Meetings
December 2 - Learn about the Workforce Development Program at EGCC
December 16 - we will have two great speakers. Laura Rauch will update us on the United Way and the agencies they are supporting. Also joining us will be Linda Henderson, District Governor who will review her plans and programs for the year.
BELL RINGING FOR THE SALVATION ARMY
Curtis has made arrangements for us to ring the bell for The Salvation Army on Thursday December 3 from 10 am to 8 pm.
He would like two people per one hour shift with the goal of filling the entire day. This is very important this year as they feel they may need to hire people to help them raise money which will only leave less to help those in need.
To help please email Curtis at curtis@danniballecpas.com or call 740-381-7752
ROTARY PROGRAMS
If you have a program in mind for 2021 please let me know.
Since our last International Zoom meeting was a success I am searching for others.
TIME FOR CHRISTMAS COOKIES - for all of you who bake or eat these delicious treats we make only once a year.
Christmas Cookie Rules...
1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free. However, calories are units of heat so wait for them to cool - there will no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.
3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calorie free, (rule #1) yours is also. It would be rude
to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.
4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.
6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!
7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street"
have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.
8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories because the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!
10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule!
So, enjoy those Christmas Cookies - we get them only this time of year!
Merry Christmas!
