President Bob ran our most recent lunch meeting and welcomed Visiting Rotarian Mark, and guests Stephen Perakslis from the Y, Catherine Deterra from Co-Op, and Melissa who reached out via our website to check out a meeting.
Bob shared his pleasure at the success of our recent Family Fun Day. Volunteer Coordinator Johnny B. added his thanks for all of the volunteers who worked to make the event run smoothly. He also reported that we raised $205 for the Interact Club's Water for Cambodia efforts. Event Chair Dave reported that we had nearly 1,000 people, raised $16,000 and will net $12,300 for the club. Congrats to all!
A recap of the day is currently airing on TCAMTV. Check it out on:
Will shared an Interact Update. Club activities have ended for the year, but they were energized by Family Fun Day and are excited for next year. They also won 2nd place in our District for their April Service Project (Coins for Cambodia) and were supported with an additional $150 from the District.
