Notes From the April 13th Meeting

President Karen Dennis greeted fellow Rotarians in person and online.


 
Don't forget to RSVP and record your order (in the comments box) before Tuesday afternoon so we can send the order ahead to Miramar. Now that the website is set up to accept credit cards, you can pay for your lunch ahead of time. This makes it easier and quicker for Miramar to serve us.
 

 
Mark Your Calendar!!!!
 
A memorial for Dick Stone will held at Makom Solel Lakeside on Clavey Rd. in Highland Park on Sunday, May 15 at 11 a.m. Sadly, no one from the Club went to the Shiva.
 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!
 
City of Highland Park is looking for volunteer counters for the Bike/Walk Count (Move HP). 
Since 2012 of Highland Park’s first Bike and Pedestrian Plan, now called MoveHP, the City has been counting walkers and cyclists at various intersections almost semi-annually. These counts help the City plan for future street and sidewalk improvements. Data from past counts has informed the goals in MoveHP, and has enabled the City to receive grants to improve the non-motorized transportation network and to be designated a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists.

Planning is underway for the Spring 2022 Bike & Pedestrian count, to be held on May 3, 4 and 7 and we need your help!

There are 5 different time slots and several locations around HP where we'll be counting. This year, we will be using sign up genius to manage the schedule. You may sign up for one or more shifts, but please sign up for only one location per shift. If you'd like to be on call in case of a last minute cancellation, there are spaces to sign up as an alternate for each time slot. The count happens rain or shine. Please share the sign up with others who might be able to help.
There are two locations where we are counting on the west side this year - Clavey and Ridge Road, and Park Ave W and the Skokie Valley Bike Trail. I am definitely hoping some neighbors would be interested in counting at these locations!

A virtual training for new counters will be held on April 21 at 6:30 pm. If you are unable to attend, the training will be recorded and available to view at your convenience.
Prior to the count, we will contact people who have signed up with details and provide everything needed for the count. Please fill in your name, email address and cell phone number so that we can reach you.

The Day's Program
Internet issues prevented us from connecting with our scheduled speaker, Dr. Fred Moss.  Instead, we talked about the upcoming events, Interact Senior Night  and our monthly evening meeting. We also discussed ways to increase our membership.  
 
Next Wednesday the Interact Club will be having a Senior Night at 6:30 p.m. at the HPHS Cafe.  Interact Students and their parents will be there and since we are the Club's sponsor, a good showing of our members will put local faces of the Club to the students and their parents. We will be inviting the parents to join us for future events and meetings.  Refreshments will be served. An email is going out soon, so if you can make it, please RSVP to the email.
 
The following week, on April 27th, there will not be a noon meeting. We will instead gather at Froggy's Cafe in Highwood for dinner and fellowship. Spouses are welcome! The cost for the dinner is $32.00 per person for the dinner (see menu options below) that includes soft drinks, tax and tip. There will be a cash bar. An email to register and pay for this event went out yesterday so check your inbox.  You do not have to know what you will eat now. You can inform the waitstaff that night.
