We welcomed our guest speakers and Samantha, Julie's daughter and guest.
As we transition into another Rotary year, we are going to try out the idea of flexing one meeting a month to an evening meeting. Bob is checking with Stoneforge availability, but stay tuned for details.
A reminder that our fall service project group, led by Carol Sullivan, will be organizing a Backpack for Kids campaign. If you or your business has school items to donate please let Carol know. We are also accepting monetary donations to support the project.
Happy wedding anniversary wishes were shared with Dan LeBrun.
