FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

President John's Message

This week a bunch of us head down to Sandestin, Florida for our annual Rotary District 6900 Conference for fun and fellowship with other Rotarians around the district celebrating the past Rotary year and welcoming in our new leadership.

For those who can’t make it down to Sandestin, not to worry, you are in good hands for our Thursday lunch meeting as Past President Lou Tabickman will be ringing the bell. And as I said last week, we are sure to learn another Law of Life or two from our own Hal Coleman when he shares with us about growing up in the South.

Program this Week
Hal Coleman: Growing Up in the South Ain't What It used to Be

Be ready to laugh and enjoy yourself on Thursday as our own stand up comedian Hal Coleman entertains our club. Warning...be on guard for stealth jokes, as he is "spit out your tea" funny! A real treat.
