Rotary Friends,
I hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable! Saturday's six inch snow fall - nearly DOUBLE last years entire Winter - welcomed the holiday season. Sunday's sunshine melted this snow lady's face :)

Thanks to Vern Henricks and Rebecca Gould for helping twelve nonprofits at the Community Cares Chest distribution last Wednesday.
Don't miss this Thursday's CLUB ASSEMBLY. You will receive an update on our Club's progress toward our annual goals as well as learn more about club Committee service opportunities.
See you Thursday!
