Reminder - Meeting Thursday, June13 - 7:00 AM Stevies Cafe 

Good Morning - what a beautiful day out there!  Hope you are able to spend a little time to enjoy it.  This week Mike VG hosts and Jim Stoll is going to share on his trip on the Nile. 
 
Last week Ana hosted and our speakers were Candace Falk and Tim Lange talking about their trip to Guatemala; for the Guatamalan Literacy Project: Two Rotarians Journeys of Love and Service.  It was a really nice program with some great info - sounds like it would be a wonderful project mission trip.
