Happy 25th Anniversary Crazy Aaron's

Happy 25th Anniversary Crazy Aaron's.

Happy 25th Anniversary Crazy Aaron's

Twenty five years ago current Rotarian, Aaron Murdoch started a company which combined chemistry with fun. His toy invention of Thinking Putty was a big hit but he didn't stop there. With fun as his primary goal, Crazy Aaron's began to invent other formulations with physical properties that expanded the imagination and the world of having fun with putty.

Much of Crazy Aaron's success went way beyond selling play putty. He had bigger goals in mind. Aaron set goals to serve the community and established hiring practices and policies which today provide jobs for many, many individuals who have trouble functioning in some jobs because of mental issues.

Aaron recognized the value in the work they could do, their love of Crazy Aaron's and benefit of holding a productive job and have fun at the same time. It's doesn't get any better.

Kudos to Aaron Murdoch and Crazy Aaron's for serving the communities of Norristown and way beyond. Happy Anniversary, we are very proud of you.

EACH ONE, BRING ONE Member Campaign Underway

EACH ONE, BRING ONE

President Sunanda has officially kicked off the 'Each One, Bring One' member campaign.

Rotary Clubs need to continue to grow in order to enhance our ability to dedicate resources to solving a community or global issue.

This year, President Sunanda is asking every Club member to bring a visitor, spouse, family, friend or acquaintance to our meeting and introduce them to Rotary.

If everyone brought a guest it would double our meeting size, and if half of the visitors discovered Rotary and became a member, the club would grow by 50%.

Please think about it this week and identify someone you would like to introduce to Rotary. Bring them to a meeting and tell them why you joined.

Who will you bring ?

- USEFUL TIPS -

Technical Tip: Add a simple Club Calendar view to your Phone

Technical Tip: Add the Club's calendar to your phone

It's easy to add this calendar view to your phone and access a simple calendar list view with one tap.

The calendar resides at this URL address, if you tap on the link below on your phone, you'll see the calendar.

https://sites.google.com/site/norristownrotarymobile/home/calendar

You can then add it to your phone's Home screen.

(On the iPhone select the SHARE symbol [see red arrow], then scroll down and select 'Add to Home Screen')

Technical Tip: Keep my gmail out of promotions

But, It's NOT Spam.

Is some of your expected gmail missing from the Inbox?

Aside from regular spam filtering, sometimes Google also takes a guess at your incoming gmail and pre-categorizes it in order to cut down on spam. The Tabs 'Social' and 'Promotions' capture some of your email instead.
Well, Google doesn't always get it right.

Fortunately, even though that is the default setting, you can change the setting and control your pre-categorization completely and get all your mail back in the old inbox.
YOU can select select the problem email in 'Promotions' and drag it to the inbox, OR....
A more reliable way is to control your own categories or simply have none at all. If you uncheck the 'Social" and 'Promotions' categories in settings, your future email will not appear in those virtual folders but rather in your old inbox as expected.

Here's what you do to fix it.
Go to your inbox settings link. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/inbox
Uncheck the boxes 'Social' and 'Promotions', AND CLICK SAVE
From now on it will appear in the old inbox as expected.

Technical Tip: Easily Unmute Zoom
