We thank all of these members for their allowing their names to be put into nomination. Their willingness to make this commitment to our club is much appreciated.

December is Rotary Disease & Treatment Month

THINK ABOUT IT!Rotary membership has now become more flexible with new options available to clubs. We can now change our by-laws to allow additional types of membership and attendance requirements. After several years of pilot programs they found that when clubs have more freedom to detrmine how they meet, whom they invite to join, and what defines engagement, the club is more vibrant and able to grow.

We have set a goal of saving 15,000 lives through our Club 60 donations this year. Remember the Bill Gates Foundation is still matching our donations 2 for 1. All it takes is 60¢ a week, not even a half a cup of coffee, and you will save someone from the dibil-itating effects of polio and perhaps their live. Bring your loose change each week or if you don’t have any change bring dollars and place them in the cups on each table.
