Announcements
Speaking of the Halloween Day "Candy Cruz," club members turned out to hand out those 
airplanes and candy to the kids as they cruised by with their parents. The weather held out and it was a lot of fun!
PJ Jones reminded the club of the Fund Raising Committee's meeting on Wed. Nov. 4th at Pybus at 5:30 pm. The Public Image Committee will talk about the different medias we can use to get information out about the Road Apple Roulette part of the Apple Blossom Parade 2021.
Carol Adamson was the recipient of the purple/green, traveling unicorn wig. She was happy to be moving it along to the next club member, who has to keep it until they show up at a meeting wearing it!!
Wayne announced the meeting of the Public Image Committee tonight, Tues, Nov. 3rd, 5:30 pm via ZOOM. ClubRunner will be discussed as a possible support tool for our club's website.
Jim Huffman met with the Manager of Pybus to discuss future hybrid meeting (part live, and part via ZOOM). We may use the smaller meeting room there because we will be limited by the number of people we can have together. As of today, we will not be able to have food at the meeting. More information to follow as we figure it out.
Kathleen asked the club if anyone had a Holiday project for the club. A family to "adopt" for the Holiday, or another project. Contact Taro.
Brags and Confessions
Chris and wife Holly enjoyed a road trip to Pendleton, Oregon, to buy a blanket for his brother. After some wine tasting along the way, they arrived home in Wenatchee to find they had left the blanket at the store in Pendleton! They decided to have another road trip down to Pendleton to retrieve the blanket. After getting home, they discovered the blanket was the wrong size (someone had put it in the wrong pile and they grabbed it). This time they contacted the Pendleton store and the owner offered to exchange it for them; no travel involved!
Wayne participated in a Washington State Department of Health survey regarding the public education, distribution and acceptance of the CoVid-19 vaccine, when it become available. He received a stipend for his work and donated 10% of it to the club.
John Schapman introduced his wide-eyed daughter Leona to the Zoom meeting crown. The 14 month old didn't have much to say!
New members Jackie and Dan Rector introduced their cat Pepper, one of two other cats in their home on Upper Sunny Slope.
Rotary Moment
Kevin read from the November 2020 issue of the Rotary Magazine regarding activities of Rotary Clubs in Athens, Ohio, and in Denver, Colorado. The Denver club was able to mobile many volunteers to help the local food bank distribute food.
Classification Talk
Alan Walker introduced his wife Kelly, who gave her classification talk. Both admitted to having "practice marriages" before they met and married!
Kelly was born in Spokane and lived in Chelan area before moving to Ellensburg in 2001. 
There she met Alan through the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce. Alan was the Executive Director of the Chamber, and Kelly was a Chamber Ambassador. The chemistry happened and in 2006, they were married and moved to Wenatchee. Each brought two children to the marriage, and they have two grandchildren, ages 10 and 14 years old, who live in Washington state.

Kelly worked for Cashmere Valley Bank in Ellensburg before moving to the Easy Street bank in Wenatchee. She's been at Cashmere Valley bank for 19 years, and is currently the Retail Operations Officer at the Maple Street branch. (Kelly was a dental assistant previously, but the seeing blood and fainting was a sure sign to find another calling!)
Hiking or walking outdoors, reading and travel are hobbies they both enjoy. Kelly was able to join Alan in his travels to Rotary International's Convention in Lisbon, Portugal, and travels on to France. They had planned a vacation to Tuscany this year, but that was postponed by the CoVid virus.
Welcome Kelly!
VP Kathleen closed the meeting with a reminder, on this Election Day, to please use the Four Way Test while being around others! Be kind!
-Is it the Truth?
-Is it fair to all concerned?
-Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
-Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Meeting adjourned at 8 am.
