It has been a long time since the Song Books have been placed on our tables. With no piano player etc. Bill Roy & “Can’t sing” Mark Anderson took us on a singing journey we won’t soon forget. We survived the situation with our Great Rotary Spirit surviving.
President McLogan asked the membership if anyone of us would be willing to do the very important job of organizing our speaker programing. Please think about this it is a great service to the club.
President McLogan announced that we may not always be meeting in the Grand Hall going forward. We should look at the Schedule Board by the front desk to find the meeting room for Rotary.
