Message from our President, Amy Neuman:

We had a great time preparing meals for the New Shoes for School event on Saturday. Check out facebook for postings and please share it to spread the word!  We'll have the final numbers for you during the meeting.

Our speaker this week is our very own Mike Jones and Kristina Sehr who are co-chairing (and doing an AMAZING job) the Foundation Committee!  They will discuss the Foundation, how it works, why it's so critical, and our club goals.  It's going to be informative and fun so please show your support by coming to Wednesday's meeting!

See you Wednesday.

I wonder who will have the blue wig..?

District Events

District 5170 Leadership Academy

Welcome to the new Rotary year! 

I am very pleased to announce the 2020-21 edition of our extremely popular leadership training program, the District 5170 Leadership Academy!  We are inviting all interested Rotarians to request the application materials as soon as possible, as registration this year will close on August 20th.  A few students from last year were unable to complete all segments of the program, so they are invited to join the Class of 2021 by undertaking only those courses that were not previously completed. 

Please review the attached flyer and email your request for the application package to Rotary5170@earthlink.net.  I strongly encourage you to act as soon as possible because space in the class will be limited, and applications will be considered on a first come, first registered basis. 

I’m looking forward to your joining the latest class of future leaders!
