I give him the monthly amount that I spent. He then goes through it with a fine-tooth comb and pays only what he thinks he should pay for. (Getty Images)

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship for seven years. My significant other, “Gabe,” and I bought a home together. We are also raising three of his grandsons. I pay half of the mortgage, utilities, food, maintenance and personal necessities. We both pay for our own insurance, car loans and gas.

District Governor Chris Waugh Visits Eugene Metropolitan Rotary District Governor Chris Waugh recently visited the dynamic Rotary Club of Eugene Metropolitan, which meets Tuesday evenings at the Davis Restaurant downtown. A demographically diverse club with strong leadership, Metro is co-led this year by Co-Presidents Paul Shang and Laura Macagno Shang. The club is actively engaged in a wide range of local and international service projects. A key highlight was learning how the club translates member feedback into action. After conducting a detailed member satisfaction survey, the club condensed a 10-page analysis into a single, clear infographic to focus efforts on leadership and meetings – a smart strategy for member engagement. Metro is also innovating in fundraising with a personalized approach: hosted house parties. Members invite friends and family to social gatherings centered on a cause the host personally cares about, with donations directed through the club’s foundation to board-approved projects. Governor Waugh applauds the Eugene Metropolitan club for its creativity, leadership, and commitment to meaningful, member-driven service. #Rotary #DistrictGovernor #ChrisWaugh #EugeneMetroRotary #ClubLeadership #MemberEngagement #ServiceAboveSelf #CommunityImpactWatch video on Facebook.com
