Thank you, Andrew, for leading a great Rotary Foundation Program at our noon meeting this week.  If you missed it, check out a few of the inspiring videos about our projects, Burundi Peace Project,  Africa Pads for Hope Project, and Mobile Food Pantry.   Also, we are coming to the end of our Rotary Foundation Drive, only a few more days to Double Your Impact by donating to the Rotary Foundation with a Club member making a matching donation to the Foundation.
 
At our evening meeting last week, our District Governor Elect, Lee Vara-Nelson, gave us an inspiring presentation about the work of Rotary and news from around the district.
 
The Community Service Committee has been active, and the volunteer slots for the December 4th activity are already full.  Be sure to check our Club Calendar for all events, volunteer opportunities in blue on calendar, or email Jon Land for more information on how you can be involved. Thank you to all our volunteers!
 
Last week to register for our holiday party for you and your guest so please RSVP now before it is too late. See you there :)
