WELCOME 2018!
Rotary held an abbreviated meeting on January 2, 2018.
After celebrating the night before it's not certain that everyone was ready
for a full meeting with a program.
After a nice meal and a good round of "Happy and Hard Luck Bucks",
The club adjourned early.
Next week the schedule gets back to "normal"
with a program titled United Way Community Impact
to be presented by Rotarian Marybeth Laisure
See you then!
