Greg Dell Aquilla has nominated and I have second the acceptance of Holly as our newest member. Holly is the Branch Manager at Capital One Bank. She is a former Rotarian and has chosen to apply to Our Club so that she can continue to work with Rotary and continue to put community service above her self. If you have any comments or wish to block her acceptance for a valid reason please submit your comments to myself, Armstead Johnson our Membership Chair or myself. |

It was great to see so many Rotarians and our Better Halves at the event. The Elks Lodge gave us plenty of room for the 150 plus guests. The bounty of food and drinks were only matched by the laughs and smiles we shared. We squeeze that hour of time into our busy lives each week to chat about an idea to raise funds, and that special Rotarian grabs the chance to give and makes the effort to change the World for the better. And so it was that Joe Mindak, made Casino Night an event that has taken on a life of its own. So let us all thank Joe and all that have donated the time, food, drinks and funds to contribute to the corpus of The Hoboken Rotary Foundation. If you participate in Our Events you know the power and benefit of giving in service. I call it getting Rotarized. If you do not then you are missing out on a chance to get something from Our Club that you will rarely find in life. Try it soon as our events are winding down for this year. |

One of the core focus of Rotary International and our Club is to serve the youth in our community. IN order to provide this service RI requires everyone involved to receive proper training to ensure the safety of the Youth and Membership. We will be performing this training at the Tuesday Meeting March 26th, 2012 so I recommend you attend or you will have to complete this training in order to participate in Youth Programs. You can download the Power Point presentation by using the following RI link. www.rotary.org/ridocuments/en_ppt/775en.ppt If you cannot download this please send an email to me at www.gmvcfp63@gmail.com and I will forward the presentation to you.

Thank you all for your cooperation and attendance at our last meeting. While attendance was a huge improvement, we now stand at 40 active members; so I expect 25 or more each week. Attendance is a requirement NOT a choice in maintaining you membership requirements. Dues is the other. So please pay your dues and attend so as not to jeopardize your membership! We will be at Biggies Restaurant on 34 Newark St Hoboken NJ each Tuesday at 12:15pm. This week we will hear from Ethan Chazin, a newer Member, who is sure to restart your business with his Coaching ideas! Parking is a premium in Hoboken so give yourself a 15 minute window and you should find something on the street! The Club and Foundation will be having a joint meeting this month on March 20th at the Hoboken Business Center or at Biggies (time to be announced). |

For many years Our Club has met various local establishments seeking a suitable and comfortable place to do the good deeds of Rotary. Like every other Club in the world, we meet to share our vocational expertise and experience, in the name of service above self. Beginning March 2013, we will be returning to a long time home, all be it, remodeled "Clam Broth House". While it is now known as Biggie's, at 42 Newark Street between River and Hudson Sts. Hoboken NJ it was the place I first attended Rotary in the 1980's. The new proprietors are long time Hobokenites that share the pride of calling Hoboken home. We will return to lunch meetings beginning March 2013, and thank the Brass Rail for having us for such a long time. Let's enjoy the Fellowship and hospitality of our new hosts and support them each week for years to come. Greg Visconti |

Recently a donation was made to Richard Marsh and his lovely wife to assist them in rebuilding their home. Rich has given so much to Our Community as a Rotarian that he deserves our assistance in his time of need. When I first me Rich he was new to the Club and eager. He was rounding up coats for the homeless and wearing his heart on every coat sleeve! Please do not forget those who need emotional and moral support to recover from the mess left behind.

Due to the recent storm, we postponed our 4th Annual Spelling Bee. The committee is working closing with the schools to first ensure that the kids are effectively transitioned back into their routine. Secondly we are seeking out their needs and how we can assist them, getting back up and running smoother and faster. Thirdly we will work with them to determine when a new date and location can be set. If you have any questions or can assist in the preparations please contact the committee chair, Lisa Russo at spellingbee@hobokenrotary.org. |

Some of you may be aware that in the last year our club's history has come around. Old boxes were found, bringing back new gems of trivia and knowledge which we will share to further the Hoboken Rotary standing in our community and membership. |

In order to maximize the time we share each week and to further Our Rotary experience and fellowship we are looking for Guest Speakers who have something valuable to talk about. |
