New Family Membership proposal

We have been exploring ways to increase our membership and at the recent Board Meeting, it was agreed to make changes to our Spousal member category and replace with a new ‘Family’ member category. This category of membership is available to two persons who are either married or partners and who live at the same address. The subscription fee for this Family membership will be $320/Qtr. The subscription will cover two full Rotary memberships and will, of course, include lunches at all the meetings. We hope that this new member category will inspire you to encourage your partner to come and join our Rotary club. Please contact Mary Kay and Shrin if you wish to add your partner and change your status to Family member. This membership will run on a trial basis and will be reviewed at the end of June 2019. A change in the by-laws will be required if it is decided to continue; at that time all members will be asked to vote on the change.

GALA News - continue bringing auction items (tax ID forms and invitations available). Need silent auction items and baskets or donate to a basket (contact Carolyn Bradish or Marion Trummer). If you're completing a yellow form with your item give to Steve Miller, if you know the value of your item (gift card) give to Jane. Think about those 'BIG' items too.
