ROTARY CLUB OF HALF MOON BAY
January 6, 2022
Club Social - Kicking Off the New Year - "Getting To Know You"
Article by Stacy Trevenon
The meeting of Jan. 6 was a virtual one, and President Joe set the tone with greetings sent earlier on Jan. 4 via our website via Club Runner: “Welcome to 2022 and the renewal of our hopes and dreams for a better world! Our first meeting this Thursday the 6th will be a Zoom Social with the title of, “Is It the Truth?”
The notice continued: “I am asking all attendees to be prepared to tell us three facts about themselves; two factual and one fabricated. We will then try to identify the red herring. This is an ice-breaker game called ‘two truths and a lie’ which can be both fun and revealing. Please don’t be shy and be prepared to stump your club mates.” Oh boy, did they ever. Manning the virtual controls, Joe said he would compile the results by percentage and share them that way.
But first, Joe gave a brief recap of club business and a look ahead. The first board meeting of the year was held Monday, Jan. 3, and at it a consensus was reached to hold off club meetings in person for another month due to the prevailing uncertainties around Covid. Ginger reported that three new Little Libraries were installed in Frenchman’s Creek, and all survived the rain with only a little damage. Plans are coming together for our club’s joint dinner with the clubs of Pacifica and Millbrae, with a date set for Feb. 11 at the senior center in Half Moon Bay. Candidates are being sought for board directors in Membership, Community Service and Youth Service, in Krystlyn’s year. Club members were urged to sign up for Every Rotarian Every Year, to put our club in the running for the Best Club award. In his Social Meeting announcement, Joe asked that members “please step up to make our club thrive; Service Above Self!”
A look ahead: the club’s Jan. 13 meeting will feature a presentation on Membership led by Mitone Griffiths, District 5150 Membership Chair; and the Jan. 20 meeting will feature a botanical presentation by Janis Moody, who will be introduced by Susan Kealey.
What followed was the game at the heart of the social: President Joe went down the list of Rotarians present and asked each to list two truths and a lie. It was set up so that the poll format would appear on everyone’s computer screen. Each member would list three facts about themselves – two that were true, and one that was a fib – and then members were asked to “vote” by indicating the fact they thought was the lie. President Joe compiled the results by percentages, and then the Rotarian on the hot seat was to reveal which fact was the fib – all the while, bearing in mind the Four-Way Test.
