President Rob Marschke has announced that RCFC will have a noon meeting this Wednesday April 8, but only by Zoom, a screen-to-screen teleconferencing application. If you are not familiar, click on https://zoom.us/. Rob will send a meeting invitation and hot link to all active members prior to the meeting. At noon Wednesday, simply open the email invitation, click on the link and join the meeting. Joining by phone is also possible via numbers listed in the invitation.
The meeting agenda will consist of an update by President Rob on current RCFC issues (move to First Pres, Strategic Planning, etc.) followed by "Headline News" from members who have concerns or good news to share. Like a regular meeting, members will be able to participate and ask questions (via Zoom). We will not have a "Program" or guest speaker.
Technical Hint - One challenge with any video teleconferencing application is the distraction of background noise. To minimize this problem, please mute your computer microphone (lower left of your Zoom screen) unless you are speaking. Phone callers can mute/un-mute their phone. In the upper right of the Zoom screen a Speaker View/Gallery View toggle switch allows seeing only who is speaking (Speaker View) or all who are on the conference (Gallery View).
As reported, a Quad Clubs Presidents/Peach Festival Committee decision has been made to canceled the 8/22/20 Peach Festival. The cancellation will generate a loss of about $22,400.00 that has been/will be paid to vendors including $22,000.00 to the Jolly Event Planning Company. RCFC's participation in a 2021 Peach Festival has not yet been decided, and our RCFC Board of Directors will seek member input regarding any proposed 2021 Peach Festival. Thanks Mara Johnson, Annette Geiselman and Rob Marschke for their work to date, and for their leadership in making the difficult decision. 
Service Opportunity: The UCHealth Garth Englund Blood Center has put out an urgent request for blood donors. There is a critical shortage because many public blood drives have been cancelled. Those interested in making a donation can call 970-495-8965 to schedule an appointment.
