Mandela Dinner Develops Friendships
We welcomed 23 Mandela Fellows from many African countries to dinner on June 26. The Fellows are at UD for six weeks to learn management and leadership skills that will be useful when they return home and continue to build their careers and their non-profits.
Club Annual Picnic “Christmas in July”
The club’s Annual Picnic will be held Thursday, July 31, from 6-8 p.m. at the W.L.Gore Pavilion off Papermill Road (at Louviers). The theme, Christmas in July, will be a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club that we have supported for several years. Silent Auction, music, great food and fellowship. Stu and some boys and girls will be in attendance. The club will supply the burgers and dogs. Everyone attending is asked to bring a picnic style covered dish to share. Laurie Williams has agreed to chair the picnic. A signup will be available shortly. Get it on your calendar NOW! There will NO MORNING MEETING that day. More details will come.
SAVE THE DATE. Lots of fun at Christmas in July and annual Club Party!

In case you missed it…
At our Annual Dinner on June 19, we honored special community members who, even though they are not Rotarians, live the spirit of Service Above Self.
Ray Civatte Community Service Award: Sam Cannan, Veteran Watchmakers Initiative
Public Service Award: Michael Bailey, Volunteer Fire Police Officer
Spirit in Business Award: GRAIN
Bill Sullivan was named by President Lynn Mey as Rotarian of the Year for his outstanding dedication as our Public Image Director, consistently posting our activities and pictures on Facebook, submitting to the district bulletin, and keeping the public aware of NMRC. We cannot thank Bill enough for all he has done in the name of Service for our club.
Thank you, President Lynn for your leadership this past Rotary year. We welcome Jamie into the top leadership position and are assured with his team that we will continue to live the motto of Service Above Self.
