It was a great week for Rotary. We had an outstanding presentation by Luciana, “What Rotary Taught Me” at our lunch meeting. (Recap & Video). Then Kelly led planning discussion during our evening meeting at Lirano wine bar. Awesome job Kelly! Congrats to Andrew, Kerrie, and Steve Kane; they were honored with Paul Harris Fellow Recognitions during the meeting. Thursday, we had a incredibly fun social at Larry and Sharyn's house, thanks for hosting! (pictures).  Finally, on Saturday, our newest members led a successful cleanup at Rotary Park. (pictures).
 
On Tuesday, I hope to see you at our first Coffee and Conversation at the Cart and/or at the Community Service meeting at Maxline Brewing. On Wednesday, we are excited to have Sonny Lubick speak at our lunch meeting at the Lincoln Center (Available to watch via zoom also). Lunch starts at 11:30 with business meeting at 12:00.
 
Please RSVP Now for our Service Above Self Celebration. Tickets are going fast, and you will not want to miss this special event!
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
 
John
