This year we are changing our luncheon “Review” meeting to an evening dinner event so that all our Rylarians and their families will be able to attend without a school day conflict. HR Rotary will be hosting the Rylarians and their families, but as this is a 5th Thursday event (NO meeting this date), there will be a $20 charge for dinner to Rotarians and guests if they wish to participate. Please “save the date” if you are interested in hearing about the “Conference Experience” from our younger generation; a sign-up sheet will be available soon. Questions: contact Jan Keyton
