 In preparation to write my anthem I took a look at our club website.
Wow, we have a lot going on!
Our website is one stop shopping for all things Rotary, meetings, service opportunities and events!
 
Thanks to Diana and Al R. for keeping it up to date!
 
We hope to see you all at many upcoming events.  As always, WE NEED YOU as we are a strong club because of you all!
 
Thank you for your commitment and support of our Club!
