After our usual socializing, this meeting at Pyxis Suites courtesy of wonderful RC Millcreek member Kathryn Christiansen (since it is the holidays, Lugano's Loggia is booked for parties), President Megan Dunn opened the meeting with the official announcement of our Charter by Rotary International. Yippee! We're official!
Rotarian Loralee Barlow, who was our Chartering Club Secretary, has to step down from that post. Christine Casper willingly accepted the position, and will finish out this Rotary Year as a Board member, serving in this capacity. Chris is responsible for reporting attendance to the District & RI. Since she cannot be at every meeting, Judy Zone said she would take Minutes and post to the blog (since she knows most everyone), and she will list meeting attendance in each blog.
Vice President Laurie Summers-Pisani and our Social Chair Annie Nielsen must begin work in earnest on our Chartering Dinner, scheduled for Thursday, January 19, 6:15pm at the Cottonwood Country Club. President Megan wants us to have two business meetings in January to prepare, so stay posted as to location: Most likely we will be back at Lugano's Loggia at 5:15pm the 1st and 2nd Thursday of January 5th and 12th.
We have a tentative social scheduled with the Hispano-Latino Club Thursday, January 26 6:15pm, probably at Lugano's Loggia.
Susan Marks reported that RC Millcreek was announced at the Area Four Luncheon (our District has ten areas comprised of 3-6 clubs with an Assistant District Governor assigned to each area. We are in Area 4 with Bev Christy as our fearless ADG leader). Susan remarked that the formation of RC Millcreek has comprised 22% of the District's membership goal of 150 new Rotarians statewide by July 1, 2012. Yay for us. We rock.

Club members were reminded that QUARTERLY DUES & FEES ($90) are due immediately. Judy Zone explained that though these dues and fees count for January-March 2012, the club needs some cash flow so that members are not footing the bill for our service projects. Treasurer Ken Klingler remarked that we already had a bill from RI for the Rotarian magazine. Contact Ken ken@klingler.com Mail check to RC Millcreek, P.O. Box 590, Sandy, Utah 84091.

There are 46 individual office suites, rented by all variety of small businesses. Many of the virtual offices are online marketing and the like, wanting a Utah business address and services provided by the shared receptionist service.
