The always effervescent and newly inaugurated President Alex Reczkowski continues the fast pace we have grown accustomed to! We will cover some of the President's plans for the new year in later issues, here's a recap of the last week or so from the West Wing:
Networking: DGN Vin Marinaro & President Alex hosted Canadian Rotarian Barb Babij for lunch on Thursday, July 7th. Barb grew up in Pittsfield (you might remember her as
Barb Loveman), and now calls Niagara-on-the-Lake home. She's currently Treasurer of the active NOTL Rotary Club -- check out their website; they have some interesting (and very successful) fundraisers!

Recruiting Rotarians: President Alex met with Nantucket Rotary Club president Janet Forest to help welcome her to the Berkshires and invite her to Berkshire Rotary. Read about Rotarian Janet's upcoming move from Nantucket and to the Berkshires in a recent Boston Globe article.
Constitution & Bylaws review: Any members wishing to be part of reviewing our Club Constitution, Bylaws, & Amendments are encouraged to stay after this week's meeting (July 14) to meet with President Alex, VP John Hudnall, & Board Member Kelly Marion. They are tasked with bringing our local documents in line with Rotary International's guidance, including Council on Legislation Decisions.
