OTHER NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT

PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION FOR NEW MEMBERS

Are you a new member in the last year? President Cindy is hosting a reception for you! Saturday evening, Oct. 7 is the place to see and be seen, a place to get better acquainted with other new members and brainstorm directions you'd like to see the club go towards. We're calling you the 'class of 16/17' just to put everyone in the wonderful mindset of our college years where the world was our oyster! Spouses are welcome and a great way for them to bond as well.

It starts at 5:30 and is an hors d'oeuvre pot luck. Just to get things rolling, bring a bottle-or 2-so you can learn to party like a rock star - er, I mean Rotarian! For more information, contact Elaine Calderbank or Natasha Nola.
