REMINDER - MEETING THIS WEEK! Thursday morning, April 9, 7:00 am Cabin Coffee.
We will have our morning meeting on Thursday, 4/9. Kathy R. hosts our County Food Pantrys. We will be giving them our donations of $370 each from our Valentines Raffle. (This was formally approved at our last meeting - motion by Joe, seconded by Tyler.) We will also get an update from each as to what is happening in their areas.
Last week Jim S. hosted and we had a review of our board meeting discussions. Many of our Rotarians are gone to the Scotland Curling Tournament . Check out our facebook page for pictures from this event. Looks like the group is having a lot of fun. We wish Jason, Bill, Don, Bruce, and Dean the very best for good competition and safe travels on their trip home from Scotland.
A couple of reminders:
Visioning excercise will happen May 14 or 21st….looking at leaning towards the 21st.
Still collecting for Crutches for Africa - any mobility related items can be given/brought to our meetings throughout May or taken to Tyler at his business. Will be shipping to Africa the end of May.

I am not sure why….but I believe this picture taken by Jason might be considered a finable offense…..or maybe Dean and Lori should be fined for imitating …..ah….nah….their actions don't appear to violate our 4-way test.
