Don't Forget To RSVP
Regarding Thursday's lunch meeting, don't forget to RSVP your intent to Joan DiMartino (joan.dimartino@gd-ms.com) by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday so she may give Mazzeo's a head count.
5th Thursday at Balderdash Cellars
Join us for the Club's regime change celebration from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. on June 30, which is a fifth Thursday, where we will be celebrating all the great things the Club accomplished this year. The event will be held at Balderdash Cellars, which is normally closed on Thursday evenings, so Rotary will have the place to ourselves regardless of the weather. Please save the date so we may give president Murphy a proper send off.
Membership Challenge Reminder
An important Club initiative going forward is membership enhancement. To that end, the Club is still entertaining the membership challenge proposed last year where any Club member that brings a prospective member to a luncheon meeting will have that guest's meal paid for by Eric Schaffer, and when/if that guest attends a second meeting, the meal will be covered by the Club. Can you think of someone to bring to Rotary?
