It is time to start thinking about this year’s Mini Golf, our only major fund raiser. The first meeting of this committee will be in late May. If you are willing to serve on this committee along with myself and several other rotarians who have already committed, please let me know. We need the help.
A big thank you to Dot Jager our assistant District Governor for the Presentations to a number of our members last week. Dot’s three year term as AG will be coming to end on June 30 but I understand she will be remaining active in the District.
Our guest speaker for Monday’s meeting is Chip Pellerin (see his Bio Below).
