Outstanding invoice?
Do not let your quarterly invoice go unpaid. Either get a check to treasurer Shawn or go to www.NMRDE.org and pay via credit card. Those last invoices were minimal, so let’s all pay up!
If you want to have your contribution made directly to The Rotary Foundation by credit card (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually) and not have it included on your quarterly club invoice, go to www.rotarydirect.org to sign up. Easy…..

Thought for the Week:
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world look weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
