My Fellow Rotarians,
 
We have had a great month of meetings and fellowship.  This month we spent time going over club business and laying out the goals  for our year.  Doris presented on Paul Harris and how to become a Paul Harris Fellow.  Deanna rounded up the month giving us a hands on mini training on how to access club runner, Facebook, RI website, and more.  A special thanks to the 2019-2020 Board for all your hard work and commitment to our Club. Below is one of the major items approved at our last Board meeting, save the dates, and our club goals and Presidential Citation.  Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Club Dues
Club dues will be increasing for all members including rule of 85 members to $133.77 per quarter (please see detail below).  Social events will be billed separately for that quarter.  Our Club fundraisers are not generating the income they once did and therefore; our club can no longer absorb the cost.
