I was so sorry to miss our Thanksgiving lunch on Tuesday. It's one of my favorite lunches of the year. I unfortunately had a work meeting come up that I could not get out of. I hope everyone enjoyed Bistro on Main. And thank you to Jennifer Lennox for organizing!
I will see everyone on Tuesday, December 2nd, where we will hear from Emelie Helbert, our Rotary exchange student from Germany.
Please make sure to RSVP to Rebekah Wright-Kulis for the annual Rotary Holiday Party by this Monday 12/1 at the very latest.
I will also be sending out information soon about the toy drive Rachel Kerns is organizing.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I'm grateful for all of my fellow Rotarians but especially for my board who has made this year's presidency so much fun!
President Elect Stacy Richardson welcomed Rotarians to the Bistro on Main for a festive pre-Thanksgiving luncheon. President Amanda Senn was unable to attend the program today.
An invocation was offered by Bill Childers, who asked us to think of people with whom we should connect at this holiday time.
