Our most recent meeting was held on Thursday, June 6 at Stoneforge, and we welcomed two guests: Becky Mello and Meghan Mello.
President Joe thanked everyone who joined the fundraiser at Union Straw. A portion of the funds spent on the meal will come back as a donation to Family Fun Day. The club also celebrated a number of June birthdays and Rotary anniversaries.
Thanks to Zulmira and AHS for hosting our "New Member Orientation" for 5 Rotarians who have recently joined the club.
President Joe then opened our formal club Annual Meeting where two items were voted on and passed unanimously.
Item 1: Slate of officers for 2024-2025:
Item 2: Rotary Club of Taunton By-laws
Reminder that our Cognac raffle is live. Zulmira is handling selling tickets, so please reach out to her. The raffle will run until all 50 tickets are sold, and then we will pull a winner.
