Fundraising Committee: The Masters raffle drawing took place on March 27th. As reported on our Club website:
On Friday, March 27th, a few Birmingham Rotarians met in the parking lot at The Village Club to draw our 3 winners while practicing social distancing.
• First Place: David Peterson - Husband of one of our very own Board Directors, Carol Peterson - CONGRATULATIONS! David will have the choice of attending the Masters Tournament once it's rescheduled or taking the $5,000 cash prize.
• Second Place: Andy Roisman - Birmingham Rotarian. She is the winner of the $1,000 cash prize!
• Third Place: Greg Bury - a close friend of our Birmingham Rotarian, David Underdown. He is the winner of the $500 cash prize!
The Masters Raffle Gala was cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, less money was raised during this fiscal year. The Gala, hopefully, will be rescheduled to a date later this year. Other fundraising ideas are welcome.

Other/Misc: The Club Board scheduled its monthly meeting via Zoom for April 15th
Speaker:
Name & Company: Monica Levin of NonVerbal Science
Topic: Body Language and How It Influences Others
Notes: Monica Levin discussed how critical body language can be and gave the Kennedy/Nixon televised debates as a prime example. She demonstrated several ways in which we communicate with our stance, our hands and our arms including: High Power and Low Power posture, the Launch Stance, and Power Seating. She noted that studies of juries have confirmed that witnesses who hide their hands are more likely to be perceived as untrustworthy. A very interesting topic and one we will have to be especially mindful of when we are no longer sheltering in place.
