New Members Induction

Today's Speaker
Lee Shapiro
Lee Shapiro talked to us about “The Art of Melting Conflict in Relationships”. How we deal with conflict-intention-control, comply, resist, shut down. Controlling behaviors can be: blame, shame and guilt, name calling, diminishing and condescending remarks. Could lead to hitting, yelling or silent treatment. Consequence could be separation, reactions, and no learning.
​
Strategies that work. One could explore with intent to learn and heal. Take time out for centering and clarity. Find common ground. Be active, compassionate listening, and reconciling errors; a Do-Over is often a strategy that leads to better understanding.
Birthdays/Anniversaries: Several in the club are celebrating this month. Elisa had cupcakes for those celebrating. Others also were served sweets from Mulligans.
Happy Dollars: Several were happy to have new members Dennis and Rema inducted into our club. All have heavy hearts as we think of Cynthia in hospice. Many members visited here there recently. Mark H wants all to keep in mind a special Rotary Foundation event January 30th with Foundation trustee speaker on island to honor.
Magic Marble: Paige was in charge of Magic Marble this week. We have $381 in the pot to give away. Smita drew a blue marble, so on to the next week…
