We had a wonderful time this week at the annual Service Above Celebration even with a little rain.  Thanks to everyone that made this event happen; your hard word is really appreciated.  Congratualations to all the award winners! 
 
On Tuesday, please stop by The Cart for Coffee & Converstional. Then Wednesday at noon, I hope to see you at the Lincoln Center for an exciting program with the Mayor and City Manager.  If you are traveling, please stop by the Lincoln Center meetings via zoom. After our speakers Wednesday, we will discuss our meeting frequency for October to December, whether we want to return October 1st to weekly meetings or continue meeting twice a month until the end of the year. An electronic survey will be sent to all noon members also on a later date; the Board wants your input.
 
Lastly, thank you Bonnie Titley and Bob Hoel for your geneous support of the Rotary Foundation.  Bonnie became a Major Donor, level 2 and Bob became a Major Donor this year.  Thank you Bonnie and Bob and thank you all for your generous contributions to The Rotary Foundation which are essential to securing and growing Rotary programs throughout the world.
