Peach Report from "our" Orchard - "Another year has flown by and we are once again looking forward to a plentiful harvest. Winter and spring brought us a great deal of moisture and the peaches are progressing quite nicely. Over-all our winter was peaceful and productive preparing for this years’ crop". (Hopefully they will survive our recent snowfall!)
Rotary Social - let's keep connected by Tom Keyton
Here is something that I am proposing to help keep members connected. Cindy Begley is not able to attend regular meetings any more due to change in work status requirements; maybe 1 or 2 regular meeting a year she could make. Cindy, Shrin and I came up with this idea. Lets have a ROTARY SOCIAL the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 7:00 at a local establishment. This is to include both noon and morning clubs and spouses/friends. Starting May 28th at Lansdowne Arms to be the first. We can go to different establishments and try them out. Everyone is on their own dime. Hope to see many there!
