Our speaker was Racheal Solida, pinch hitting for Robin Stock who had to work. Racheal told of her responsibilities as a Business Banker for First Place Bank. This is one of the last local banking companies, formed by the merger of First Federal of Warren and First Federal of Youngstown in 2001. She handles business services and loans up to $250.000. She works with about 300 customers locally, handling about 10-15 cases per week. She gave some incidents where her services would be used.
The meeting was called to order by President Brian Laraway, with the invocation and pledge.
Brian welcomed back Gary Reel.
There were no guests or visiting Rotarians today.
Deanna led us in the Get Together song, which sounded good.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
*Brian reported that Past District Governor Don McTigue had died. He was from the Girard Liberty Club.
*Brian also passed around the "Laraway List" giving folks a chance to list areas of interest and volunteer opportunities.
*Pub of Month last week was attended by Ron and Kathy Carroll and Brian and Shanna.
*Brian would like volunteers to handle a Rotary Minute, Foundation Minute, Quote for the Day, Door Greeter, and Sergeant of Arms for our meetings to get more folks involved.
