LAST CHANCE
Your input needed!
As we look toward the next Rotary year, we want to ensure our club’s energy and resources are focused where they matter most – both for our community and for you – so we are conducting a brief Spring 2026 Member Survey.
Please respond at the link above by Thursday, May 7. If you are not comfortable completing the survey online, there are copies at the back table at the Rotary meeting. Please return a completed copy next week.
Survey
Quiz: Name That Rotarian!
The program committee for 2026 -2027 is adding a segment called “Name That Rotarian” to our meetings. Club members will be able to guess the identities of other members by seeing early photos along with some fun facts about them.
Submit your photos and completed questionnaire to Anna Lee to play along.
