CAN YOU COOK?
Jim Hollinger is now back at home , and Judy Bucko is organizing meals for the family during his recovery.
If you would like to help out, please read Judy's request below:
 
Looking for cooks!
The Hollinger family (4) could use a break from cooking meals while Jim rehabs at home!  They like everything but do need gluten free!  Let me know if you can help 610-513-2431.  Judy Bucko
 
 
COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
 
Would any Rotary members be interesting being a delivery person for Meals on Wheels?
We are in need of a few especially for Fridays.  A couple or two friends could do it together.  Masks are required in our building picking up the meals and while drivers are driving with someone other than a person in their home bubble. They need to wear the masks when delivering too.
We provide hand sanitizer and extra masks if needed.
The routes are in the Norristown area.
 
 
Thank you for all you do for our community.

Technical Tip:
 

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.
