 President's Announcements

A reminder that the Earth Day clean up is this Saturday, April 29th. The Interact Club is participating and Rotarian support would be great!

Also, don't forget that our raffle fundraiser is underway. We are selling $10.00 raffle tickets for a chance to win one hundred $10.00 scratch tickets. All Rotarians are encouraged to pick up at least 10 tickets from the Sergeant-at-Arms desk and begin selling them. Our raffle fundraiser will run through Pancake and Family Fun Day on June 17, 2017.

A big "thank you" to the Kiwanis club for inviting us to lunch!

From our District Governor:

"The conference is less than one week away! Let us celebrate the Rotary year of “Rotary Serving Humanity” and the “100th Anniversary of the Rotary Foundation” together.

Of course you have all heard me say, Rotary International President John Germ will be there  Friday during the conference and Friday for dinner. It is not often you will see a RI president in our district. Do not be the one who misses this event! Registration can be found at www.rotaryconference2017.org or https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rotary-district-conference-2017-districts-7890-7910-7950-7980-tickets-25005687685 . I hope we have made it as easy as possible."
