-Holiday Auction Recap-
What a wonderful night of fun, food and festivities at our 2023 Holiday Dinner and Auction. This is the early tally so far for the evening event, more details are to follow. Great job to everyone involved. Another shout out of thanks to our generous sponsors.

Arrive early and hop in line for you chance of finally finding the elusive Queen of Hearts and supporting the Rotaract.
-Students of the Month-
BSRC is proud to recognize the Students of the Month at Bozeman High School for 2023. Check out their accomplishments HERE and why we selected these talented young people. Go Hawks!
-Proxy Voting-
Now for some official BSRC business: On December 15, we will elect the 2024-25 officers and directors for Sunrise Rotary. All members of the Bozeman Sunrise Rotary Club have the right to vote at the Annual Meeting and any other meeting of members. A quorum, a majority of all active members, is required by the Club Bylaws to conduct such an election. We currently have 115 active members so 58 are needed to form a quorum. Unfortunately, we haven't had a quorum at a regular Friday meeting for some time. Consequently, at its regular meeting on November 14, the board approved a motion to allow proxy voting for the upcoming election. If a Member is unable to attend the upcoming Annual Meeting, scheduled for December 15, 2023, in order to achieve a quorum, the Member may give his or her proxy to either Secretary Keith Nathan or another member who will attend in person or on Zoom. We all very much want you to attend in person, but if you cannot, please email whomever you choose to be your proxy to notify them of your decision. Please be sure to cc Keith Nathan (khn@aggienetwork.com) in any event so he knows you have done that as well. Thanks in advance for your help! -BSRC Board

Rotary helps save mothers and children by providing education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.Clubs in Japan and Brazil used a Rotary Foundation global grant to equip a hospital with lifesaving neonatal equipment. Haiti has the highest maternal and infant mortality rate of any country in the western hemisphere. Rotary provided a fully equipped medical Jeep to volunteers and midwives to reach mothers and children in remote areas.For more information on Saving Mothers and Children **CLICK HERE**
