President Dave Hall gave his final speech before passing the gavel to Kelly Marion. Dave gave us his usual humorous (?) attitude and spoke of the hard work that so many Rotarians gave in support of his presidency. We thank Dave for his dedication and hard work this past year.
This is it! The drawings start on Saturday August 1st. Please bring in your sold calendars to Joan this week for the Rotary International Fundraiser to benefit Shelter Boxes going to Nepal. Please make sure to sell them or give them as gifts, then turn your $60 in to Joan along with any ticket stubs for the raffle.
We have raised 2,700.00 so far. Let's get those tickets in. Thank you all for your willingness to support our friends in Nepal during this time of great need.
