Past President Carol Sullivan filled in for President Joe Livingston and opened our August 3rd meeting by ringing the Rotary Bell at 12:10 PM.
Carol reminded the club that she and Rich Volkmann are the Program Chairs for this year. All dues-paying Club members will be assigned a week where they are responsible to arrange for a speaker/program. Please arrange for a speaker on the date you are assigned. If you have a conflict please notify Carol and Rich so they can switch your week to accommodate you and your speaker.
Carol presented donations to representatives from four local nonprofits on behalf of the Rotary Club. Thanks to those groups for their good work in the community.
Guest Charlene Fiore had an announcement for the group. Charlene is involved with the Church at the Park effort which collects and distributes clothing, food, and school supplies to those in need.

The 11th annual Church at the Park event will beheld August 19th 11:30-4 at Memorial Park.
