Want good Speakers?
This Rotary year Cheryl Ernst will be coordinating the monthly coordinators for weekly programs. Please volunteer one of the next 12 months to arrange two speakers. Cheryl has the calendar with dates available. If you can’t commit for 2 speakers but have a good one available, let Cheryl know and she can fill that person in one week of the schedule.
LET’S GET THIS DONE ! Award Applications Available 
Applications for the three special awards  we present each year are  now available. Please review each application and submit any nominees you have to the Rotarian who is the chair and named at the end. They will then review the applications with their committee, select one, and a meeting will be scheduled to present the award. Applications will be sent this week.
