Rotary day update: Dave presented a sponsorship plan for Rotary day entertainment. He and Carol will be working to sign on corporate sponsors in the coming weeks. Dave has worked up a "best" case and "base" case plan to ensure that we meet our fundraising goals.

Carol was happy to report that our activities and attendance are right in line with many other local clubs.
