Makeups? Please report to BJ

2024 Report makes gains
We didn’t quite make our goal but we are over $44,000 for the 2024 Report! Way to go, everyone. Now let’s wrap up any outstanding payments.
Technology Help Requested
Members – as we continue to provide remote meeting access to our members, the challenges of this technology linking have become more complex and we could use more assistance from members. As chair of our public relations committee, I am asking for volunteers to help build a process and the technology to really make this an asset for all of club and a better experience for our remote members. Please email me if you can help and be part of this success! bsullivan@shanercorp.com
Award Applications ready, Awards presented in June
At our annual dinner on June 19 we will honor members of the community with the Ray Civatte Community Service Award and the Public Service Award.

Thought for the Week:
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
